The Michigan State Spartans lost in humiliating fashion to the Rutgers Scarlet Knights — a program MSU had never lost to in Big Ten Conference play prior to today — by a final score of 38-27.
The victory for Rutgers this afternoon broke a lot of streaks. Entering Saturday’s contest, the Spartans were 6-0 against the Scarlet Knights since 2014, and Rutgers had a 21-game losing streak in Big Ten Conference play overall. Both of those streaks are now over. Michigan State’s streak of 21-straight opening game victories is now snapped as well.
