Michigan State defense bending at times, but not breaking
J.K. Dobbins is dropped at the 40-yard-line for a loss of 1 on first down. Dwayne Haskins throws a 16-yard completion to Terry McLaurin on second down to move into Michigan State territory at the 44.
Dobbins rushes for 5 yards on first down and Parris Campbell finishes off the set-of-downs with a 7-yard run on second down.
Dobbins goes for 1 yard on the next play. Haskins' throw on second down falls incomplete, making it third-and-9 from the 31. Haskins throws to K.J. Hill on third down, and the Buckeye receiver is immediately wrapped up by Kenny Willekes and Justin Layne for a loss of 2.
