Live updates: Another missed FG, but Michigan State leads 14-3 in third

After a disappointing finish to last week’s game against Arizona State, Michigan State gets a fresh start in its Big Ten opener at Northwestern on Saturday at noon. Follow the action here with live updates throughout the game by Matt Schoch of The Detroit News.

Spartans still in control despite FG miss

Michigan State's defense forced a three-and-out (what else is new), and the offense took over near midfield.

The Spartans picked up a fourth-down conversion as Elijah Collins picked it up easily.

However, they stalled in the red zone as the commentators criticized offensive coordinator Brad Salem for throwing the ball on second-and-5.
