Watch MSU head coach Jonathan Smith recap Spartans’ victory over Purdue

Michigan State football held on by the skin of their teeth in a must-win situation against Purdue on Friday night.

The Spartans dominated the Boilermakers in the first half, but needed some key defensive plays late to hold on to the 24-17 victory. Michigan State led 24-3 at halftime, but failed to score again in the second half.

With the win, Michigan State improves to 5-6 overall and 3-5 in Big Ten play. The win over the Boilermakers keeps Michigan State alive for the postseason, needing a win over Rutgers next week to clinch a bowl berth.

Hear what head coach Jonathan Smith had to say about the Spartans’ performance in Friday night’s victory over Purdue.
