The recipe for the 2026 season has continued on Saturday, with the Spartans dropping another heart breaking game by a single score. Michigan State fell to Washington, 21-14, dropping MSU to 3-7 on the year.
It was another game that felt like the Spartans had positioned themselves to win, but a redzone turnover and a missed field goal kept at least six points off of the board. To put a cherry on top, the Spartans were driving down seven with under a minute to play, when a first down reception by Carson Gulker was fumbled, ending any hope at a comeback for the Spartans.
Another part of the 2026 recipe, the injury bug hit hard again, seeing the Spartans lose starting quarterback Alessio Milivojevic, nickel Michael Richard and defensive tackle Ben
Roberts all to injury in the contest.
The road doesn't get easier for Michigan State now, either, with the final home game of the season coming this Friday against Oregon.
