Michigan State football survives late mishaps to beat Wisconsin, 34-28, in overtime

EAST LANSING — Michigan State looked like its losing streak would finally come to an end.

Then it lost its chance. Not once but twice. First on a botched field-goal attempt at the end of regulation Saturday, then on a dropped interception in overtime after an incredible Jayden Reed-to-Keon Coleman touchdown to open the extra period.

The Spartans’ biggest playmakers made it happen in the second overtime.

Jacoby Windmon forced a fumble on Wisconsin’s first play of its second possession, and Dashaun Mallory pounced on it. Then facing third-and-12, quarterback Payton Thorne hit Reed for a leaping 27-yard touchdown pass to send MSU into celebration with a 34-28 victory Saturday at Spartan Stadium.
