The Michigan State Spartans went down to South Florida this week to face a ranked team in the heat and humidity and came out with a decisive 38-17 win over the Miami Hurricanes. Head Coach Mel Tucker earned a marquee win, and MSU has already exceeded last year’s win total.
The Spartans only outgained the Canes 454 yards to 440 and gained six fewer first downs (23 to 29). But, the Spartan defense forced two fumbles and two interceptions, while holding Miami to only 52 yards on the ground. Kenneth Walker led all rushers with 172 yards on 27 carries.
