It wasn’t the greatest of seasons for the Michigan State Spartans, but they’ll finish it by going bowling.
Following their 19-16 win over Maryland today at Spartan Stadium to finish the season with a 6-6 record, head coach Mark Dantonio focused on the positives, saying that the victory and the bowl eligibility was a “program win”.

The Spartans now await their bowl placing, likely either the Pinstripe Bowl in New York or the Quick Lane Bowl in Detroit.
