Well, there go their chances for the national championship. Barring a miracle, looks like no more undefeated teams in the Big Tweleven. They could still be conference champs, though, if someone else beat tOSU, and they can recover the rest of the season. Down 37-0 in the third quarter sure won’t impress many poll voters, though, or the computers.

Well, they finally scored, but missed the two-point conversion, so now it’s only 37-6. They’re coming back! And it’s only well into the fourth quarter!
Sorry ’bout that, Rand.
After losing to ourselves last week against Wisconsin, MSU didn’t have much of a chance against us at home.
And, of course, that lateral after the interception to turn it into a pick-6 will be shown on highlight reels for many, many years to come, so thank you for that, as well. 😉
If it’s any consolation, MSU is still ranked above the Hawkeyes by the coaches and the BCS, but only barely. We didn’t move up very far, owing mostly to our two-loss record. 🙁
