It was a better week for the MSU specials teams against Indiana, although there is still some room for improvement. In order for the Spartans to have a chance this week they can’t afford any catastrophic mistakes on special teams, and they could probably use a big play or two of their own as well.

Matt Coghlin missed his first field goal attempt of the game, but bounced back to make the last two, including the game winner with five seconds to go in the game.
Coghlin missed from 43-yards out on the first drive of the game, but got back on track by making a 44-yarder with about three-and-a-half minutes to go in the fourth quarter to put MSU up seven.
