Michigan State played with fire again. Indiana just wasn’t good enough to burn the Spartans. This MSU team has shown it can take some heat. Until Saturday, the defense hadn’t been the unit putting out the blaze. MSU overcame an anemic offense and a dozen penalties for over 100 yards to remain unbeaten with a 20-15 win over the Hoosiers. Some stingy red-zone defense, a couple timely turnovers and just enough offensive oomph got it done in Memorial Stadium.
