While Illinois is still searching for a first down, the end zone seems to be eluding Michigan State today.
Michael Geiger's second field goal of the game, a 34-yard kick, doubled the lead for the Spartans to 6-0 late in the half.
Tyler O'Connor appears to be struggling with a rhythm. He's 14-of-21 for 133 yards, which is statistically good. However, the majority of those seven missed passes have been overthrows.
Illinois still seeking first down
There is a complete lack of offense in this game so far.
