Let’s cut right to the chase. This was probably not a game that the Michigan State Spartans should have won. The Nebraska Cornhuskers had the Spartans dead to rights, and the Spartans somehow managed to steal victory in the final few minutes and in overtime, thanks to just enough great plays on special teams, defense and even the offense in the late hours of Saturday night.
First, it was the special teams. With the Spartans trailing by seven points and with just under four minutes to play, Jayden Reed fielded a punt and raced to the end zone to tie the score at 20 all.
