Michigan State head coach Mark Dantonio took a very bold step and guaranteed a win over the Buckeyes yesterday, and Connor Cook threw a 15-yard touchdown to Keith Mumphery to open up the scoring at 7-0. There is no question that the Spartans are the favored team to win tonight, but Urban Meyer and the Buckeyes aren’t going to go down without a fight.
