Live updates: MSU running out of time in 4Q

Michigan State defense gets stop it needed

Clayton Thorson throws two consecutive incomplete passes to Flynn Nagel to quickly make it third-and-10. Solomon Vault runs for a gain of 2 on third down, presumably just looking to run some clock.

Timeout Michigan State (4:08 4th)

The upcoming punt notwithstanding, Northwestern burned just 16 seconds of clock on that last drive.

The punt is a beauty, though, and it gets downed at the 2-yard-line.

22-19 Northwestern (3:59 4th)

Michigan State gets backed up, punts on critical drive

After the missed field goal, the Spartans will take over at their own 20.
