Niyo: Spartans' season ends on winning note, but Dantonio's program faces challenging future

New York – It ended the way it needed to for Michigan State.

With confetti falling, even after a clumsy win. With players celebrating, even after a disappointing season. And with a head coach talking hopefully about the future, even if others don’t share the same vision.

But at least they all acknowledged something before it was over, as Michigan State’s 27-21 victory over Wake Forest in the Pinstripe Bowl on Friday capped a season of discontent for the Spartans and cast it all in a more positive light.
