Michigan State football returned home on Saturday night without Paul Bunyan.
For a third straight year, Michigan got the best of the Spartans, this time in a tight, hard-fought battle at Michigan Stadium. The Wolverines overcame a poor start to get the 24-17 victory over Michigan State.
The Spartans had a chance to tie the game late in the game but were stopped on fourth down deep in Michigan territory. The Wolverines ran out the clock from there and preserved the win.
With the loss, Michigan State drops to 4-4 overall and 2-3 in Big Ten play. The Spartans will return home next week for a matchup against undefeated Indiana.
