Live updates: MSU trails Rutgers 7-0 at end of 1Q

Connor Heyward gives the Spartans some breathing room with a 4-yard pickup on first down. Rocky Lombardi's second-down throw to Cody White falls incomplete. His throw to Darrell Stewart is tightly contested and forced to the ground, but Rutgers is called for an offsides penalty. That'll make it third-and-1. Heyward is stuffed near the line on the re-played down, and after an official measurement, the Spartans have a first down.

That's the last play of the first quarter.
