COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - Michael Geiger kicked a 41-yard field goal as time expired and No. 9 Michigan State, playing without injured quarterback Connor Cook, beat No. 2 Ohio State 17-14 Saturday to snap the Buckeyes' 23-game winning streak.
The Spartans (10-1, 6-1 Big Ten) took control of the Big Ten East, jumped into the thick of the College Football Playoff race and very likely ended the Buckeyes' chances to repeat as national champions.
Ohio State (10-1, 6-1) managed just 132 yards against a rugged Spartans defense and lost for the first time to a Big Ten team in the regular season since Urban Meyer became coach four seasons ago.
