That was a great game, second only to the conference championship win over Ohio State. Michigan State has really come a long way.
But I was very disappointed in the way Stanford folded in that last drive. The announcers talked up the 'hero' opportunity for Stanford's quarterback, but the coach didn't allow him to do much - no flexibility in those last two run plays. The fullback took it right up the middle on 3rd down when Michigan State was bunched up, and he had plenty of time to adjust and go left where there was no one. Could have been any easy first. I wanted Michigan State to win, but I hate to see a lackluster final drive like that.
