Michigan State’s defense closed the half playing outstanding, even forcing two turnovers.
But the Michigan State offense could do nothing after safety Kurtis Drummond intercepted a Braxton Miller pass and Chris Norman recovered a fumble by Miller late in the second quarter.
After the interception, Michigan State was forced to punt and after the fumble recovery, the Spartans got into field-goal range only to see Dan Conroy miss a 42-yarder.
Conroy is now 7-for-12 on the season and has missed a field goal in all five games.
