True freshman quarterback Johnathan Lewis registered his second career passing touchdown, connecting with classmate and running back Raheem Blackshear for a 42-yard reception for the score. Junior linebacker Trevor Morris set a new career high with 19 tackles to lead the RU defense and surpass 100 for the second-straight year (118), while classmate Deonte Roberts also reached the century mark (104) with 16 stops as the middle linebacker.
MSU's Matt Coghlin connected on four field goal attempts in the contest. Spartan quarterback Brain Lewerke contributed two touchdowns, including a seven-yard pass to running back Connor Heyward and a three-yard rush of his own.
