No. 11 Michigan State ended their fantastic 2021 season with a big 31-21 win over No. 13 Pittsburgh in the Peach Bowl.

This game was a great send-off for some of Michigan State’s stars and leaders on both sides of the ball. One of those leaders in graduate senior Drew Beesley gives his touching farewell to the team in a Twitter post on Saturday morning.
