Review:
The Spartans played a great game in this blow out victory, both sides of the ball dominated. K. Cousins had a terrific game throwing 4 touchdowns, the receivers seemed to catch everything. Also, the defense got plenty of pressure on the opposing QB, sacking him 7 times. Next up #24 Miami!



C. Rucker(#16) takes a short pass and runs into the end zone for the Spartans first touchdown of the season.



K. Martin(#82) catches a short curl and makes people miss on his way to the end zone from 44 yards out.



J. Jones(#23) shows he can do more than just tackle, as he intercepts this deep pass.

Review:
The Spartans just couldn't get it done out there today. Miami's offense was unstoppable force, but Cousins keep MSU in the game with his stellar performance. Cousins was 25 for 35 with 434 yards and 4 touchdowns, but the lack of a running game is what was the Spartans down fall. Hopefully Caper can get the running game going against a tough Notre Dame team.
