I don’t understand Michigan State’s roster. Looked so full of holes in uncompetitive losses to Washington, Minnesota, and Maryland.
Then today teams up and overpowers a ranked Illinois home team with the added disadvantage of four or five starters suspended. In any case, it was a big advantage to the Spartans that Illinois didn’t (or couldn’t) attack their secondary. MSU’s pass rush dominated the 4th quarter.
Faith restored in Mel Tucker.
