4th quarter

9:25: Both teams have their backup quarterbacks as we play out the series on this one. Neither of us can get much going if we trade punts and play your strings on this one. Ohio State 38, Michigan State 7

2:45 PM: After three drives of 50 or more yards in the first half, the Spartans had just one first down in the third quarter and opened the fourth quarter with a punt. There seems to be an equal amount of red and green left in Spartan Stadium. Ohio State 38, Michigan State 7

3rd quarter

2:05: Will Howard runs it in for a touchdown three plays after Aidan Chiles’ interception. This score is starting to get out of hand, but Michigan State didn’t look as outclassed as it has in recent years in this matchup. The story tonight was more about the three sales figures. Ohio State 38, Michigan State 7

3:24: Aidan Chiles makes his first big mistake of the match. He rolls to his left, tries to make something happen under pressure and throws straight to Denzel Burke. Buckeyes will take over inside the Spartans’ 10-yard line. Ohio State 31, Michigan State 7

4:57: Brutal end to a drive for Michigan State. The Spartans forced Ohio State into fourth downs twice, but on the second they gave up a 33-yard touchdown pass to Emeka Egbuka. Buckeyes are starting to move out of here. Ohio State 31, Michigan State 7

12:08: Michigan State gets one first down, but then stops and punts on its first offensive drive of the second half. Aidan Chiles appeared to throw a third-and-14 interception when he picked up a screen pass, but the play was ruled an incomplete pass. Ohio State 24, Michigan State 7

2nd quarter

0:29: Jordan Turner knocked Will Howard out of the game for a play with a shot to the ribs, but backup Devin Brown steps up and throws a 17-yard touchdown pass to Buckeyes freshman Jeremiah Smith, who made two one-handed catches on the same ball. driving force. Ohio State 24, Michigan State 7

1:13: Michigan State’s offense goes 3-and-out for the first time today and Ryan Day used his timeouts to give his offense time for one final shot. Bad timing on a Ryan Eckley shaft that gave Ohio State just 60 yards for a touchdown. Ohio State 17, Michigan State 7

1:48: Michigan State appeared to force a fumble deep in Ohio State territory, but the call is overturned on replay review (giving fans more to boo about here). But the Spartans defense still forces a 3-and-out and our first punt of the day. Michigan State gets another offensive shot here. Ohio State 17, Michigan State 7

3:03: Aidan Chiles had a standout drive before ending it with a fumble recovered by Ohio State on the OSU 15-yard line (replay showed the officials missed a pretty egregious facemask right before the fumble). Chiles had completed two long passes, one on third down and one on 10th down on the Spartans’ own 25, to bring his team close to a one-score game. He is 9-for-11 passing for 143 yards with a touchdown. Ohio State 17, Michigan State 7

7:22: Ohio State gets its ground game going with three consecutive runs of 37, 9 and 19 yards to march into Michigan State’s end zone. The Spartan lost defensive lineman Maverick Hansen early in that drive, which contributed to the run-blocking issues. Ohio State 17, Michigan State 7

9:41: Spartans move quickly as Aidan Chiles swings a pass to Jaron Glover and he tumbles over the pylon to get the Spartans on the board. Ohio State 10, Michigan State 7

9:48: Huge game for Michigan State defense. Jordan Turner steps in front of a Will Howard pass and returns it to the OSU 12. Spartans answer the OSU takeaway with one of their own and are right back to where they were. Ohio State 10, Michigan State 0

11:20: Michigan State continues to make mistakes it can’t afford against a team of this caliber. After the offense drove down the field on just the second possession, Jack Velling had a big gain over the middle, but the ball was stripped as it hit the ground. That came after a failed interception for the MSU defense on the final drive. Ohio State 10, Michigan State 0

2:09 PM: Michigan State’s defense is doing better against Ohio State than in recent years, but can’t get off the field on third down. Will Howard completed three third-down passes on that extended Buckeyes drive, then the Buckeyes scored on 4th and goal from the 3-yard line. Malik Spencer dropped a perfect chance for an interception on the previous play. Ohio State 10, Michigan State 0

1st quarter

5:14: A nice opening drive does not score any points for the Spartans. Michigan State goes 55 yards thanks to an opening rush of 19 yards from Nate Carter and 27 passing yards from Aidan Chiles. But Jonathan Smith goes for it on 4th and 1 at the OSU 20 and gets stuffed. Ohio State 3, Michigan State 0

9:15: The Buckeyes go 63 yards in 11 plays and settle for a field goal, largely due to a late personal foul penalty that set them 15 yards back into the red zone. Will Howard went 7-for-7 as OSU looked to utilize his speed at the rim. This marks the first time since 2019 that Michigan State has held OSU to less than a touchdown on its opening drive in this game. Ohio State 3, Michigan State 0

Foreplay: Michigan State will get at least some help at wide receiver and possibly a lot more. Jaron Glover officially returns to the field tonight with Nick Marsh making a decision during the game. He is warming up on the field.

Tight end Michael Masunas is one of the new players. DL Ade Willie is also out.
