Michigan State vs. Central Michigan: Game Time, TV Schedule,
Michigan is coming off that win over Air Force 21-35.
The Spartans will hope to continue their recent dominance in their matchup against in-state rival, Central Michigan. Central did their best, but were unsuccessful, and failed to score any more then 10, showing that the Spartan defense started to shut down the Chips late in the game. Connor Cook was 11-of-19 for just 143 yards and a touchdown and 42 of that came on the first pass of the game. This season, MSU is 3-0, but CMU is 1-2. In between, London scored on a six-yard run to cap off the Spartans’ opening drive.Junior Michael Geiger’s 47-yard field goal made it 10-0.
“He’s just had the ball thrown to him a little bit more, but he’s had outstanding ability from day one“, Michigan State’s Mark Dantonio said.
Michigan State was flawless from a special teams perspective, with Michael Geiger narrowly making a 47-yard attempt, and Jake Hartbarger eliminating the return game with an average punt of 39.7 yards.
Purdue usually always hangs around with Michigan State, as the last five meetings have been decided by 14 or less points. Price in turn had one 15 yard touchdown catch. Hicks and Arjen Colquhoun played cornerback, with Demetrious Cox moving from corner to replace Montae Nicholson at free safety. The contest was sent into overtime after an incredible 27-yard touchdown pass from Cooper Rush to tight end Ben McCord in the final seconds. “I feel like all of us, the entire receiver corps, can make plays”.
“They deserve to be ranked where they’re at”, CMU coach John Bonamego said. This had the makings of a trap game for the Spartans, and they almost fell into it after a sluggish and sloppy performance. Rudzinski not only lived with the Spartans’ flirtations of returning to greatness as a player only to suffer heartbreak, he’s ridden the roller-coaster with fans from the 1970s to Dantonio’s arrival in 2007. Once it started getting closer to halftime, I put my headphones in and got geared up again.
The Mountain West is losing quarterbacks at a rapid rate (Boise State’s Ryan Finley, Utah State’s Chuckie Keeton and Fresno State’s Chason Virgil will all miss time with injuries) and, besides that, the past two weekends have been underwhelming for the conference. “So my feeling is that we’ve got depth on this football team, and [injuries] won’t be an excuse not to play well”.
“We’re ranked No. 2 in the nation”. – The University of Michigan women’s soccer team lost for the first time in Big Ten play, falling, 3-0, at Michigan State on Friday (Sept. 25) at DeMartin Soccer Stadium.
