McPherson, Spartans forfeited their five wins from the 1994 due to a 'lack of institutional control'. As a result, the Spartans' official record for the season dropped 0–11 overall and 0–8 in conference play, placing them last out of 11 teams in Big Ten. With the forfeits, this remains the Spartans' worst record in program history.https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=AnAaAAAAIBAJ&sjid=8C0EAAAAIBAJ&pg=2173,2014375 Spartans Spared Major Penalties Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Associated Press September 17, 1996 August 2026 InternetArchiveBot Schedule 1994 AP Eastern September 10 2:00 p.m. l y y Kansas Memorial Stadium Lawrence, KS 10–17 48,000 September 17 3:30 p.m. l y Notre Dame 9 Spartan Stadium East Lansing, MI rivalry ABC 20–21 74,183 September 24 1:00 p.m. F y Miami (OH) Spartan Stadium East Lansing, MI 45–10 (forfeit) 61,224 October 1 12:30 p.m. F y Wisconsin 15 Spartan Stadium East Lansing, MI ESPN 29–10 (forfeit) 71,234 October 8 12:30 p.m. l y Michigan 7 Michigan Stadium Ann Arbor, MI rivalry ESPN 20–40 106,272 October 15 3:30 p.m. l Ohio State Spartan Stadium East Lansing, MI ABC 7–23 74,585 October 22 2:00 p.m. l y Iowa Kinnick Stadium Iowa City, IA 14–19 68,532 October 29 1:00 p.m. F Indiana Spartan Stadium East Lansing, MI rivalry 27–21 (forfeit) 60,773 November 5 2:00 p.m. F y Northwestern Dyche Stadium Evanston, IL 35–17 (forfeit) 47,754 November 12 1:00 p.m. F Purdue Spartan Stadium East Lansing, MI 42–30 (forfeit) 60,164 November 26 4:00 p.m. l y Penn State 2 Beaver Stadium University Park, PA rivalry ESPN 31–59 96,493 Personnel 1994 Michigan State Spartans y 76 Fr Flozell Adams T y 12 Jr Tony Banks QB Tony Banks (American football) y 79 Sr Brian DeMarco OT y 47 Jr Scott Greene FB y 63 Sr Shane Hannah T y 1 Jr Muhsin Muhammad WR y 22 So Reggie Garnett LB 96 So Chris Smith DT So Jabbar Threats DE y *George Perles 1995 NFL draft The following players were selected in the 1995 NFL draft.
