The Spartans got enough from their defense to beat Minnesota, but another abysmal offensive performance leads to a sixth consecutive loss for MSU...
Minnesota spotted Michigan State six quick points off back-to-back turnovers, but the Spartans' offense went 'missing-in-action' during a frustrating 27-12 loss to Minnesota on Saturday. Michigan State has now lost six in a row under interim head coach Harlon Barnett.
Later in the game, safety Jaden Mangham ended a promising Minnesota drive by picking off quarterback Athan Kaliakmanis — the third forced turnover of the day for the Spartans. As for the fumbles, the first was forced by defensive tackle Derrick Harmon and recovered by Mangham. The second was forced by freshman linebacker Jordan Hall and recovered by Avery Dunn. Speaking of Hall......the freshman continues to be a shining light on what has been an awful season for the Spartans.
On traditional gives to running backs, the Spartans were limited to just 51 yards on 13 carries. It's clear tailback Nathan Carter has been the No. 1 focus for opposing defenses these last three weeks, as he was bottled up again today. Carter finished with just 44 yards on 11 carries, and while Jay Johnson dialed up several throws to the tailback, he managed just nine yards on five receptions. At the end of the day, it doesn't really matter who is taking snaps for Michigan State.
The Golden Gophers were also able to wear down Michigan State's run defense, which was stout most of the day but ended up surrendering a career-high 204 rushing yards to Minnesota third-string running back Jordan Nubin. Strong effort from this unit for much of the day, but not enough help from the other side of the ball to get the job done.
