Michigan State and Air Force football game today TV channel live stream

Aaron Burbridge dominated Saturday with three touchdown catches as the fourth-ranked Spartans had little trouble with Air Force in a 35-21 win in East Lansing.

“I was never holding back”, said Burbridge, who had four career touchdown receptions prior to Saturday.

For the first time since 1966, the Michigan State Spartans have risen to the No. 2 spot in the nation in the college football rankings which were just announced this week. “Me and Conner have that kind of chemistry”. As the head coach, when I recruit players, my responsibility to them and their families is to do all I can to make sure they leave Rutgers with a degree and are prepared for a successful life off the football field. “He’s got the ability to catch the ball in traffic”. There are guys playing in the National Football League that bears that out.

For example: After two games, Air Force has already rushed for 822 yards. Much like Oregon State, the Spartans have gone with two quarterbacks in the first two games in their pro-style attack – senior Joe Gray and junior Kenny Potter, a transfer from Long Beach City College. I thought it was good for him to get that out of his system against a team like that.

The defense for MSU now is only important on the final drives of first and second halves.

The Falcons were often their own worst enemy. It might have been closer, but the Falcons were plagued by turnovers, penalties and missed opportunities.

“We started talking, and he was the most impressive kid you’d want to meet”, Paul said.

Both squads need to get better, but Michigan clearly has less wiggle room.

Cook tossed three first-half touchdown passes as the Spartans (3-0) jumped to a 28-7 lead.

Through two games, Michigan State has capably filled the roles of those departed stars, thanks to the long-awaited breakthrough of a senior wideout and the emergence of two promising young tailbacks. Air Force is 5-10-2 against teams from the Big Ten. But quarterback Connor Cook saw Burbridge sneak past the coverage down the sideline and threw it his way. He did come out in the second half and perform better, including a 38-yard touchdown pass to Jalen Robinette, who was wide open behind the secondary.

Nebraska finished with 13 shots on goal to the Michigan State’s 14.

Whether or not he’ll retain his job at season’s end is another matter entirely. The Falcons had won their last seven nonconference games….

When you have the chip on your shoulder like Michigan State did on Saturday night, as well as the mental and physical preparedness, not many, if any teams were going to come into East Lansing and take away a victory from Michigan State. The Spartans last played a service academy when they lost to Army in the 1984 Cherry Bowl. The Spartans extended their streak of scoring 30 or more points to a school-record 11 consecutive games.
