SANTA CLARA, Calif. — It only took the opening kickoff for Josiah Scott to make an impact in his fifth game this season.
He followed that up with his first pass-breakup on Oregon’s first offensive play.
Michigan State’s sophomore cornerback immediately validated his decision to bypass a redshirt and play in his fifth game of 2018. And Scott turned in an impressive performance against Ducks quarterback Justin Herbert and receiver Dillon Mitchell, earning the Redbox Bowl’s Defensive Player of the Game in the Spartans’ 7-6 loss Monday at Levi’s Stadium.
