EAST LANSING — The Spartan Stadium scoreboard looked convincing. The performance on the field left plenty to be desired for the second straight week.
As did another potentially critical injury.
But No. 11 Michigan State football imposed its will on both sides of the ball after halftime, generating six rushing touchdowns and blanking Akron 52-0 on Saturday afternoon.
Wide receiver Jayden Reed left the game after making a catch late in the first half and sliding into the Zips’ bench. He reportedly suffered a cut on his back on the play but did not return after halftime.
