Penn State strikes back
Penn State took over at its own 36 after the punt. Finding no one open down field on third-and-4, Trace McSorley ran up the middle for a first down. Penn State got into Michigan State territory at the 48 on the next play. A delayed handoff to Miles Sanders was taken 48 yards for a touchdown as the run defense continued to struggle. Penn State led 14-7.
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.
