Michigan State wins Big Ten thriller; CFP next?

Michigan State's offense struggled to find the end zone all night in Indianapolis, but when it needed a touchdown to win the game, the Big Ten and earn a likely spot in the College Football Playoff, it put together a drive for the ages.

22 plays.

82 yards.

9 minutes and 4 seconds.

And it all ended with freshman running back L.J. Scott breaking through Iowa defenders to reach the end zone, stretching the ball just over the goal line.

The result? A 16-13 win for Michigan State in a classic Big Ten battle.
