EAST LANSING, Mich. — With Michigan State having lost three in a row, it wasn’t the best time for for it to have No. 3 Ohio State walk into Spartan Stadium.
But on Saturday afternoon, the Buckeyes offered a harsh reminder of just how big the gap is between the teams as Ohio State, for the second straight season, dominated Michigan State, this time cruising to a 49-20 victory, the fourth straight defeat for Michigan State.
C.J. Stroud matched his touchdown total from a season ago, throwing for six scores to lead the Buckeyes (6-0, 3-0 Big Ten). The Ohio State quarterback finished 21-for-26 passing for 361 yards and was out of the game by the end of the third quarter.
