Just when the Spartans began looking like a complete team, a potential Legends Division favorite, they struggled to put away a struggling Purdue team and the wave of uncertainty comes rushing back.
The MSU defense did the heavy lifting while its offense seemed to regress in a 14-0 win over the Boilermakers (1-6 overall, 0-3 Big Ten).
The Spartans (6-1, 3-0) scored on a 45-yard fumble recovery from senior linebacker Denicos Allen in the first half, and hung on to keep Purdue out of the end zone before redshirt freshman tight end Josiah Price scored on a trick play in the fourth quarter.
Sophomore quarterback Connor Cook threw for 107 yards and junior running back Jeremy Langford went over the century mark for the second straight game with 131 rushing yards. MSU managed just 294 total yards against the Big Ten’s worst defense.
