(Steve Carmody, Michigan Radio)
Michigan State gave Javon Ringer the ball all afternoon, and Notre Dame couldn't do much about it.
Ringer ran for 201 yards and two touchdowns on 39 carries yesterday, carrying the Spartans to a 23-7 win over the Fighting Irish before 76,000-plus at Spartan Stadium.
Michigan State (3-1) took a 13-0 lead into the fourth quarter, then sealed the victory by handing off to Ringer on all seven plays of a 77-yard drive capped with his second score with 2:16 left.
The Irish (2-1) turned the ball over three times and missed two field goals.
The Spartans open Big Ten play this Saturday at Indiana.
