Fourth straight touchdown extends MSU's lead
Connor Heyward brought the opening kickoff in the second half out to the 33. A play-action rollout by Brian Lewerke resulted in a 12-yard completion to Matt Sokol. LJ Scott rushed for three yards and Lewerke missed Cody White on a pass down the sideline. On third-and-7, Lewerke hit a red-hot Felton Davis III who stretched out to make a highlight catch for 31 yards. Hercules Mata'afa, who returned for the second half, chased down Lewerke and forced a throw-away on first down before Scott picked up nine yards on the next play.
