Fitzgerald challenges MSU to maintain standard set in Michigan win

A2D News Desk

Michigan State head coach Pat Fitzgerald is urging his team to treat their 15-6 victory over Michigan as a baseline standard rather than an outlier. The Spartans reclaimed the Paul Bunyan Trophy on Saturday, providing a significant result after a season marked by repeated struggles and six straight losses.

Fitzgerald emphasized the team's disciplined preparation and execution, noting that the coaching staff identified and addressed issues during the bye week. He invoked his "24-hour rule," requiring players and coaches to process the win and move forward quickly to prepare for the upcoming matchup against Washington.

The Spartans (3-6) face the Washington Huskies (5-4) at 4:15 p.m. at Spartan Stadium. With three regular-season games remaining, MSU must win out to secure bowl eligibility. Washington enters as a formidable opponent, having kept six of its nine games within one score.
