The win got stranger after halftime.
Michigan State is 2-0. That sentence is clean. The game was not. A 35-13 win over Eastern Michigan produced a little hope, a little irritation, one monster Cam Edwards day, one very loud run-defense number, and enough passing-game leakage to keep everyone from getting comfortable.
