COLLEGE FOOTBALL Cook terrific as Spartans roll By The Associated Press MailTribune.com By The Associated Press Posted Aug. 30, 2014 @ 2:00 am By The Associated Press Posted Aug. 30, 2014 @ 2:00 am » Social News EAST LANSING, Mich. — Connor Cook threw a long touchdown pass for Michigan State's first points of the season — and coach Mark Dantonio's immediate reaction was concern. That's because Cook needed to be helped off the field after a late hit to his left leg. "That looked pretty ugly out there, but he rebounded after that, and he went right back in the football game," Dantonio said. "I'm pretty sure he's fine, based on how he played." Cook shook off that early scare to finish with three touchdown passes, and No. 8 Michigan State rolled to an easy 45-7 victory over Jacksonville State on Friday night. Cook completed his first nine passes in a nearly flawless performance. He sat out the second half after going 12 of 13 for 285 yards. Michigan State won the Big Ten and the Rose Bowl last year thanks to its outstanding defense, and although that unit lost a few standouts, it was hard to tell the difference in this season opener against the Gamecocks. Jacksonville State is considered one of the top teams in the Football Championship Subdivision, but the Spartans showed no vulnerability to an upset in this one. "They're every bit as good as advertised," said John Grass, who was in his first game as Jacksonville State's coach after being promoted from offensive coordinator. "I was proud of our kids on how we finished the game. We dug a hole early and you can't do that against a team like Michigan State. They've got a team that's going to make a run at a national championship. I really believe that." Colorado State 31, Colorado 17 At Denver, transfer Dee Hart rushed for 139 yards and two touchdowns in his Colorado State debut to help the Rams rally for a win over Colorado. Colorado State's Treyous Jarrells finished with 121 yards, giving the Rams two 100-yard running backs in a game for the first time since 1996. After Colorado State trailed most of the game, Garrett Grayson put the Rams on top for good with a 16-yard TD pass to Rashard Higgins early in the fourth quarter. Hart extended the lead minutes later with a 3-yard rush as the Rams beat the Buffs for a second time in three seasons. Sefo Liufau threw for 241 yards and a pair of touchdowns to Nelson Spruce for Colorado. Hart spent three seasons at Alabama, where he appeared in 17 games and carried the ball 43 times for 172 yards. He joined the Rams this fall as a graduate student and instantly vaulted to the top of the depth chart. Most of the week, Colorado State coach Jim McElwain played up the underdog angle, saying the Buffs were a Pac-12 team with more resources and more talent. But the Rams were the ones coming off a bowl win last season.
