'A win is a win': Michigan State does enough to escape Rutgers

Matt Charboneau breaks down MSU's win over Rutgers The Detroit News

East Lansing — Considering Michigan State has spent the bulk of the season trying to find any offensive momentum, it’s no surprise the Spartans closed the regular season the way they did on Saturday.

Taking on a one-win Rutgers team on Senior Day at Spartan Stadium, an ineffective offense nearly sent the sparse crowd home unhappy and ruined the last home game for the 18 seniors playing their final game at Spartan Stadium.

However, thanks to another solid defensive effort and a late touchdown run from wide receiver Cody White, Michigan State got its seventh win by beating Rutgers, 14-10, in front of an announced crowd of 64,951 on a cold and rainy day in East Lansing.
