Just before halftime, they managed to close the gap to a 4-point game, with the score standing at 17-13 in favor of Maryland.
The second half saw the Spartans' defense step up in a big way. Linebacker Jordan Turner was a standout player, recording three interceptions to stifle Maryland's offense. The defense's strong performance played a crucial role in turning the tide of the game in Michigan State's favor. Their ability to create turnovers and capitalize on them was key to securing the 34-24 victory.
The win over Maryland was not just a one-off success for Michigan State. It was a statement victory that set the tone for the rest of the season. Starting conference play with a win is always significant, as it builds confidence and momentum for the challenges ahead. The Spartans will look to build on this early success and continue to compete at a high level as they know the tough road they have ahead.
