Michigan State, following their huge upset over rival Michigan last week, traveled to Minnesota attempting to back up that win with another. And they did just that as they dominated the line of scrimmage and ran away with a 30-20 win over Minnesota. The win moved the Spartans to 5-1 on the season, 3-0 in the Big Ten.

Before the game kicked off, as both teams were making their final preparations, lightning struck. That was a literal lightning strike (not a metaphor) within 15 miles of the stadium and we were in a delay. A storm front moved through, causing a 43 minute delay.
