During the game, the crowd did not seem wild. In fairness, this could relate to MSU going ahead and the typhoon-like weather conditions leading to a slug fest.

Go Green! Psychologically, this win was a wildly successful anti-depressant to eliminate so much of the pain of last year’s disastrous season.
