State College, Pa. - The season is finally over for the Spartans, and thanks to Penn State's 61-7 beating in Happy Valley, it's the worst season for MSU since 1991. The Spartans (4-8 overall, 2-5 Big Ten) also lost eight games that year, but MSU was never embarrassed in 1991 the way it was Saturday night. The 54-point margin of defeat is the worst for any Spartan team since a 55-0 loss to Michigan in 1947, and the 61 points is the most allowed since a 63-0 loss to U-M in 1922.
