This was one of the best game’s of the year as the Spartans overcame an 8-point deficit in the 4th quarter to win, 37-33. Star running back Kenneth Walker III virtually ended the game with just a few minutes remaining with a rushing touchdown before the Spartans defense fully clinched it with an interception.
MSU ended up getting to 8-0 as it still has a huge matchup with Ohio State coming up in a couple of weeks. That one may very well decide who gets to the B1G Championship Game and it’ll be curious to see the ratings after that one.
