There were no obvious signs of it after a lackluster season-opening 15-point win against Furman.

In Michigan State’s 36-28 victory against Notre Dame last week, the Spartans racked up 260 rushing yards.
Leo Musso returned a fumble 66 yards for a touchdown in the third quarter and No. 11 Wisconsin turned its early showdown with No. 8 Michigan State into a rout, beating the Spartans 30-6 on Saturday.
“I was escstatic when I saw him hit the spin-move”, Dixon said after the game. “Our lives matter too and even us privileged college students fear for our lives around the police”, Sherrod wrote. “I don’t think there’s any question about that”. Next week they’ll play at MI, and, after a bye week, will return home to play Ohio State.
4 hours ago – Matt Charboneau, Angelique S. Chengelis, John Niyo and Bob Wojnowski predict the outcome of Saturday’s Michigan State-Wisconsin game. Senior cornerback Sojourn Shelton jumped a curl route and picked off O’Connor in the second quarter, which set up Clement’s first touchdown run from one-yard away. On two occasions, Hornibrook passed for first downs while facing third-and-10, and the Badgers converted twice while facing fourth-and-1 with runs into the line. QB Tyler O’Connor was only 18 of 38 for 224 yards and three picks and was sacked four times.
Top passers: Wisconsin senior Bart Houston has completed 44 passes in 71 attempts for 527 yards, 2 touchdowns and two interceptions in 3 games. No other Spartan running back had more than three carries, as Madre London was the second leading rusher for MSU with six yards on his lone carry.
Spartan free safety Demetrious Cox couldn’t find the handle on the ball for an interception he very likely would have run back for the tying touchdown.
“I’m not surprised”, guard Michael Dieter said. “He kind of yanked it out at the last second”. The Badgers’ offense was nowhere to be found against the Panthers and was held to a pair of field goals in the first half by the visiting Sun Belt squad.
The play begins with Michigan State running back LJ Scott taking a handoff at midfield.
After adding a field goal, Wisconsin capped its 17-point third quarter by pouncing on a fumbled snap on a punt by Michigan State punter Jake Hartbarger. Hornibrook then finished the job completing a touchdown pass to tight end Eric Steffes, giving the Badgers a 7-3 lead.
Offensively, Michigan State football is averaging 215.5 yards in passing and 215.5 yards in rushing. Wisconsin has wins over two top-10 teams in its first four games of this campaign, but this win could cement it as a true College Football Playoff contender. Lotti fell down and Miller was penalized 5 yards for running into the kicker.

“First of all, I thought we came out the second half and were sort of energized, moving the football and boom that happens and we’ve got to recollect ourselves”, Dantonio said.
