MSU vs. BSU review

Last week the Michigan State Spartans of East Lansing, Michigan took on the Boise State Broncos of Boise, Idaho in a non-conference college football game to start off each of their seasons. The game was played at Spartan Staduim in East Lansing Michigan. It was only the 13th game ever played under the lights in MSU football history.

The whole game was a hard fought battle by both opposing forces. For Michigan State, Le'Veon Bell carried the whole team on his back, he had 44 carries for 210 yards which was more total yards than the entire BSU team. But even with Bell having a amazing game the Spartans offense was rather ineffective.

What kept the 11th ranked Spartans in the game was their heavyweight defense which allowed a grand total of 206 yards. Lead by Sophmore William Golhston the Spartans only allowed two field goals by the BSU offense. This nationally ranked defense should be a strong point for the Spartans all season.

I thought this was a fantastic game because it was such a close game for all four quarters and you never really knew who would win the game. Although the Spartans prevailed in the end you must give credit to this Boise State team for playing a tough game. With the final score ending up to be
17-13, the Spartans proved they can play under a little bit of pressure and will be a force to be reckoned with throught this college football season.

This picture represents the power of the Michigan State running back as he jump completly jumps over the Boise State defender. Without the play of  Le'Veon Bell it may have been a different story for the Spartans during this game.
