Michigan State PFF grades, snap counts: A step in the wrong direction vs. Washington
Michigan State couldn’t capitalize on its first Big Ten win of the season last week, returning to East Lansing and dropping a close matchup with Washington, 21-14.
The Spartans (3-7, 1-6 Big Ten) got off to strong start on offense, but cooled off and went scoreless in the second half, with the MSU defense finally breaking with a late go-ahead touchdown drive for Demond Williams Jr. and the Huskies (6-4, 3-4).
Officially falling short of bowl eligibility, the Spartans didn’t grade out too poorly from Pro Football Focus with an overall grade of 70.5 for the matchup, seeing a few key areas contribute at a decent level.
