I watched this game on a bug screen telecast in one of the conference rooms at the MSU Student Union ... packed room that day .... great group of athletes on those early 1980s MSU squads ... Lorenzo Hampton took things over in first five minutes of 4th qtr to negate a solid MSU effort. Danny Knight shined for MSU offensively and the option run attack piled up good yardage; defense was solid all day except for erly 4th qtr hiccup. This 1982 MSU team was trying for 3 straight bowls but couldn‘t accomplish it
