Michigan State puts clamps on high-powered Penn State offense to key upset

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. - Trailing by three points with less than two minutes to play and facing fourth-and-10.

Leave the offense out there and try to keep the drive alive on your own end of the field?

Punt it away with three timeouts left and trust your defense while also knowing you might not get the ball back?

Michigan State coach Mark Dantonio opted for the latter and it paid off.

The Spartans punted, forced a quick three-and-out, and then put together a game-winning drive in the final 90 seconds for a 21-17 upset victory at No.
