COLUMN: Rutgers win provides minor reprieve in dismal year
The battle of this year’s bums of the Big Ten turned out to be nothing more than a cask of pent up frustration finally splintering then exploding all over Spartan Stadium on Saturday as MSU captured its first win in nearly seven weeks. In the time between wins, the FBI sifted through a trove of newly found Clinton emails and came up empty handed, the Cubs won the World Series, the United States elected Donald Trump as President-elect, Dos-a-Cero came to an end and Ohio State fell from the top five only to wind up at No. 2 by Sunday.

COLUMN: It's time for Dantonio to shake things up for MSU football
For all intents and purposes, let’s say MSU beats Rutgers next Saturday. Then we can assume an Ohio State team that just manhandled No. 10 Nebraska embarrasses the Spartans in East Lansing and MSU proceeds to fall to No. 12 Penn State to end the season. That would mean MSU football finishes the season 3-9 with one Big Ten win just a year removed from a College Football Playoff appearance.
