Friday […]
I don’t care if the temperature was 5 degrees. Today was a beautiful day in East Lansing. One of the big stories of MSU’s west-coast trip was the offensive struggles of Jaxon Kohler.

One possible question coming into this game may have been Michigan State’s ability to focus after a nice win at Washington and against a hurting Oregon team who had to play without injured starters Jackson Shelstad and Nate Bittle. That question seemed to be put to rest early on before it wasn’t. Oregon struggled to […]
