What an absolutely amazing game!! Personally, that was the top moment in my Spartan Stadium career-I've never seen a call as gutsy as that, and in that situation as well!
An incredible atmosphere, a sell-out crowd, and a strong rushing attack helped pave the way for last night's victory. Although we were torched through the air at some points by Dane Crist,Kyle Rudolph, and Michael Floyd, the secondary was able to withstand the Fighting Irish and their aerial attack just long enough. Had the Irish attacked downfield more, the defensive backfield might've faced more problems.
The commitment to the ground game continues to pay off. Edwin Baker, Leveon Bell, and a newly returned Larry Caper split carries, and pounded Notre Dame play after play. On the other hand, signalcaller Kirk Cousins wasn't nearly as poised as you would expect a returning starter to be-however, his unflappable demeanor helped the Spartans press on even after mistakes.
It was unbelievably exciting to witness the entire game (and especially the final play!) in person-the student section was once again electric. I believe Michigan State showed that although they may not deliver perfection on every snap, they always play with toughness and heart, and in the end that allowed them to prevail.
GO GREEN!
