Michigan State's defensive coordinator, Pat Narduzzi, had only surrendered 49+ points twice since 2002. That was until tonight, when Ohio State rolled out of East Lansing with a 49-37 victory.
As such, Urban Meyer ran a short bench against the veteran Spartans, but members of the #Dream14 did see the field and they did contribute to the victory. Reakwon McMillan and Curtis Samuel were the only field players to see meaningful action.
