Last month, Michigan State football ended their season against the Maryland Terrapins. This was the first in a series of lasts for Michigan State, as longtime players Sam Edwards, Alante Brown, Ryan Eckley, and a few others played in their last game. Additionally, this was the end of the Jonathan Smith era at Michigan State, as he was released from his contract less than 18 hours after the game went final.<\/p>\n
Additionally, players such as Michael Masunas, Nick Marsh, Cooper Terpstra, and George Mullins all played their final game before announcing their intentions to hit the transfer portal.<\/p>\n
The Spartans went out strong, on the pace of a 17-point halftime lead and a late Omari Kelly fourth down touchdown to seal the game. Alante Brown and Aveon Grose each had their own clutch plays, with Brown returning a kick for a touchdown and Grose sealing the game with an interception.<\/p>\n
Spartan Shadows had photographer Nolan Gerou on hand to capture the magic, and here are some of his best shots capturing the game and atmosphere prior to, during, and after the contest at Ford Field.<\/p>\n
