Michigan St 31 Minnesota 35 4th 12:40

Pretty good ball game going on courtesy of the BTN.

Cousins with a great TD throw to Sims with a nice catch (where was that last week Dion)?

Minnesota answers with a deep bomb, followed up immediately by a TD pass over the middle.

jwins who has been playing QB for Minny?

 

[jwinslow]

Just turned it on before MSU's TD (mentioned above). Box score looks like mostly weber, with lots of runs from Gray.

MSU desperately misses Winston. They beat Iowa last week with him.

 

[jwinslow]

Unbelievable turn of events.

MSU forces a fumble, returns it about 10-20 yards by 29 CL Rucker. Play is reviewed, overturned (close play).

Minny on 3rd & 17 throws over middle to TE, who is rocked, hits the ground and the ball pops out. Minny RB catches the loose ball, runs for a 60 yard score.


Unbelievably bad luck. Minny's original fumble was s pretty cllose to being a catch and drop, and so was the second play, which would make it down before the fumble.

MSU driving downfield to try and tie it up. Minny has two DL jump early, one clearly into the neutral zone, and they call a false start on MSU.

Trying to make up for the 17 penalties on Minn? Minn had a lot of contact downfield, but they let them play and didn't call an 18th on Minny.

MSU with a delay of game. Setting up 4th and long for the game.

 

[jwinslow]

Great breakup by Minny on a pass over the middle to MSU's TE. Dropped it right in between 3 defenders, but a perfectly timed arm thrust into the mix broke up the completion.

 

[jwinslow]

MSU gets a stop with 2:13 left, forces a punt. Runs into the kicker, giving Minny 4 more downs. Still down 8.

Sparty continued to be Sparty with that running into the kicker
