Michigan State football was completely dominated by top 10 Washington on Saturday evening.

The Huskies traveled across the country and smacked the Spartans, 41-7, in an embarrassing defeat for Michigan State. This was the first game for the Spartans since head coach Mel Tucker was suspended indefinitely due to sexual harassment allegations.

Michigan State’s defense surrendered more than 700 total yards, with Huskies Heisman candidate quarterback Michael Penix Jr. recording 473 yards and four touchdowns in the win. This was arguably one of the worst performances for the Spartans at home in a very long time.
