ESPN RECAP

Connor Cook, No. 11 Michigan State dominate Eastern Michigan

EAST LANSING, Mich. -- Michigan State coach Mark Dantonio's team chased a championship and caught it last season. Now, the Spartans are pursuing something more elusive. "You're always chasing perfection," Dantonio said after the No. 11 Spartans scored the program's third-most points since 1931, smashing Eastern Michigan 73-14 on Saturday. Connor Cook threw two touchdown passes and ran for a score, all in the first quarter, as Michigan State (2-1) found the end zone on its first five possessions. The Spartans finished with their highest point total in 25 years. They beat Northwestern 76-14 in 1989 and blanked Arizona 75-0 in 1949. Eastern Michigan (1-3) was outgained 320-1 in the first half and surrendered the game's first 20 first downs. The Eagles have been outscored 155-17 by Florida, Old Dominion and the Spartans.
