Trace McSorley rushed for a first down on the first play of Penn State's drive -- the coverage was the reason for his scramble. On an ensuing third-and-3, McSorley overthrew DeAndre Thompkins, forcing another punt.

The Spartans took over after Penn State's turnover on downs and a strong run by La'Darius Jefferson set up third-and-2. A quarterback keep fell short of the first down but a defensive holding gave Michigan State a first down.
