Michigan State offense edges defense in Friday night scrimmage

Michigan State's defense won the first scrimmage of fall camp but round two went to the offense.

In the second scrimmage of preseason practice, the offense beat the defense, 39-33, in overtime on Friday night at Spartan Stadium in a contest that utilized a modified scoring system.

"There was a lot of excitement out there tonight," coach Mark Dantonio said in a university press release. "I thought we played very well. We got the game to overtime, so that's always good. I thought we did a lot of good things. There's a lot of emotion and a lot of energy on our football team right now.
