MSU football grades for the Spartans' performance at Michigan
Columnist Graham Couch grades the Spartans' performance at Michigan on Saturday night — offense, defense, special team, coaching, and the bottom line.
Graham Couch, Lansing State Journal columnist, has given the Michigan State football team a 7 out of 10 for their win against Michigan. The offense was praised for handling a strong defensive lineup, with quarterback Alessio Milivojevic performing well despite a reported hand injury. Receiver Chrishon McCray and running back Brandon Tullis were key contributors to the offensive success.
The defense received a 9 out of 10 for their resilient performance, limiting the Wolverines to just 13 first downs and forcing turnovers. Special teams earned a perfect 10, with kicker Liam Boyd making all kicks and punter Rhys Dakin pinning the Wolverines deep in their own end. The coaching staff received a 9 out of 10 for a cohesive and well-executed game plan.
While the win won't guarantee a bowl game, it marks a significant step forward for the rebuilding program and provides hope for the fan base.
