This game was hard fought through out, but the Spartans just couldn't pull it off in the end. L. Caper sure made a difference carrying the ball 11 times for 134 yards before he went out with broken ribs, which ended the running game MSU had going. Plus, it put all of the weight on K. Cousins shoulders and he just couldn't produce. This loss is a heart breaking one for MSU fans, destroying their hopes for an undefeated season and dropping them to .500 in conference play.
L. Caper(#22) made a difference in his first game out, but sadly for MSU fans went out with broken ribs.
D. Spears(#26) scampers in from 4 yards out. This about the only production MSU's running game was able to muster without L. Caper in.
B. Cunningham(#3) catches this 18 yard toss from K. Cousins to put the Spartans up 21-17 late in the 3rd quarter.
