Michigan State put one in. 1-1 at the half. :( Akron looking the worst they have all season.
First first-half goal they have given up in quite a while.

Michigan State is easily the best Big Ten team we have faced all year.Several factors made the game a nail biter. MSU came at us hard the entire game. No quit.MSU appeared to be as good at moving the ball as Akron is.First goal might have come too easy causing a sense of "stick a fork in it". Not to be.Akron had many more slips, falls and missed cuts than did MSU. Wonder if it was the cleats.Penalty kick goal hit the crossbar and defected down and into the goal. Whew!!!!Penalty kick came because the Akron player had the MSU player beat coming around the right side.Defender tackled the Zip player deliberately. It was that or give up an easy goal. It was a smart play.The nearly muffed PK attested to that.Heart stopping moment when MSU seemed to have scored an equalizer. But, the officials hadclearly called offside well before the shot. A great shot for sure.I told several MSU players after the game that they were the best Big Ten team we faced. To a manthey were all exhausted. Akron ran their butts off. The pace was way faster than they were use to.Kofi was pulled with 1:40 to go. He was exhausted and looked ready to collapse.Great game by both sides and the nation's best team claimed the Big Ten championship which theAK-Rowdies chanted at games end. "I believe ... I believe that we have won the Big Ten" Classy.
