A defensive holding call on MSU, followed by an 11-yard Clayton Thorson completion to Riley Lees, got Northwestern out to their own 45. But that's when the Spartans dialed up the pressure and sacked the quarterback on third down to force another punt.
MSU will take over at its own 9 after Cody White muffed the punt. Luckily for the freshman, his teammates were able to pounce on the ball.
We're in the fourth quarter now and the game is still tied at 10-10.
MSU offense stuck in neutral
The Spartan defense got the ball back to its offense by forcing a three-and-out, but the offense wasn't able to get things going on the ensuing drive.
