The white team won the annual spring game 24 to 17 today in Spartan Stadium.
Led by two defensive touchdowns, and Andrew Maxwell's 110 passing yards and one touchdown, the white team won bragging rights over their teammates.
It seemed very appropriate for a Michigan State team that has been lead by its defense over the past few years that the first two touchdowns of the game came off of turnovers.
The first was a 25-yard interception return by Chris Laneaux and the second was a 41-yard fumble return by Kyle Elsworth.
On the offensive side of the ball Connor Cook continued to create a quarterback controversy by throwing for 217 yards and a touchdown and lead the green team to tie the game at 17 in the fourth quarter.
Maxwell broke the tie by connecting with AJ Troup for a 46-yard touchdown that proved to be the game winning score.
The spring game marked the end of spring practice and for spartan fans, left questions as far as who will be the starting quarterback, running back, and will the MSU offensive improve from where it was last year?
The game can be re-watched on the Big Ten Network at 10 p.m. Saturday evening, or on demand at btn2go.com.
