There is a complete lack of offense in this game so far.
For its part, Illinois, on each of its five drives, has gone three-and-out.
Michigan State's offense, which does have more than 100 yards, has yet to find the end zone -- only managing a field goal on its first drive.
The score remains 3-0, with Michigan State in the lead.
MSU lacking discipline in first half
Michigan State should have started its fourth drive in the red zone.
After Jalen Watts-Jackson's block in the back started the Spartans at the Illinois 36-yard-line, a 5-yard false start penalty -- the fourth on MSU's offensive line -- and a three-and-out forced Michigan State to punt.
