#10 Michigan State gets to 10 wins in November

Thanks to the punt-block by Denicos Allen (#22 at right), MSU rallied feverishly to defeat Purdon't 35-31 today. Yes, all you betters didn't come close to covering today. MSU has jumped to #10 in the USAToday poll (below).

Correct the ES if he is wrong, but at 10-1, this is the first time in its storied history that Michigan State has registered double-digit wins in the regular season. FIRST TIME EVER WE HAVE 10 WINS IN NOVEMBER.

MSU will moves up to #10, particularly with Nebraska's loss, 9-6, to Texas A&M in a field goal-kicker's marathon. Can't wait til Nebraska joins next year and we get to kick their ass on an annual basis. The Spartans had only 95 yards rushing today, and most of that was Baker moving across the 1,000-yard mark.

GREAT WIN. NOW, BEAT PENN STATE
