Preview:
MSU needs to get the running game going early in this one, too keep Notre Dames high powered offense off the field as much as possible. Also, Cousins needs to keep playing at a high level if MSU wants to keep the megaphone trophy 2 consecutive years.

Yea definitely don't have a good defense like last year. I'll probably open up 2-2.

Review:
Spartans lose after Cousins throws 4 picks, dropping them to 1-2. Things started going downhill when Caper left after the 1st quarter with elbow bursitis, the running game just never got going after that, which forced MSU to throw more than they would like too.Then Notre Dames defense got aggressive, bring pressure from any where, causing Cousins to over throw open receivers and into coverage.



E. Baker(#4) powers his way into the end zone from 6 yards out. This is the only highlight from the running game today.



K. Cousins day started off good, as he throw this 10 yard touchdown pass to B. Cunningham(#4).



K. Cousins(#8) played poorly today, throwing 4 picks and only 1 touchdown.
