Michigan State Beats Nebraska: Post Game Grades for The Spartans

Michigan State Football won a game! Seriously! A real life football game against a Big Ten opponent!

Michigan State held on to win an ugly 20-17 game against Nebraska. The game had a lot of warts and worries but it still ended with the Spartan players celebrating Harlon Barnett’s first win. And it was on the team’s unexpectedly early senior night to boot! This is cause for celebration!

So enjoy the celebrating then dive into the grades below. The Spartans may have won, but the team was still wanting in some key areas.
