Spartans Dominate, Coenen Shines | Michigan State Spartans Football News

Michigan State dominated Eastern Michigan 35-7, pulling away in the second half with balanced play and standout performances. Defensive tackle Eli Coenen delivered two sacks for a season total of three — a major leap from last year’s lackluster sack numbers. Receiver Charles Taplin made his first real impact after sitting out Week 1, hauling in three catches for 65 yards and a TD, including a dazzling 38-yard strike. But the offense still showed vulnerabilities: the line struggled to contain Eastern Michigan’s ground game, and QB Alessio Milivojevic faced pressure and missed open targets. Second-level tackling also looked shaky without linebacker Jordan Hall, hinting at tougher challenges ahead — especially with Notre Dame looming.
