Field position battle continues
The Michigan State defense has momentum, but the offense can't follow suit. The Spartans went three-and-out yet again as Brian Lewerke couldn't find Brandon Sowards on third down. Once again, Tyler Hunt punts.
MSU defense steps up again
DeAndre Thompkins had a strong punt return to Penn State's own 46. Miles Sanders picked up 12 yards on two plays following a first-and-15, but a designed run by Trace McSorley came up just short as the Nittany Lions were forced to punt for a third straight time.
Spartans go three-and-out
The Spartans tried to get the run going on first down with a 4-yard run by Connor Heyward, but the next two plays went nowhere and the Spartans were forced to give he ball right back to Penn State.
