After the first two drives of Saturday’s Michigan State football game against UCLA, it felt like the Spartans were going to just run away with an easy win.
The Spartans made a stop on UCLA’s first possession and went right down to score a touchdown with over nine minutes left in the first quarter. They then held UCLA to a field goal on the next drive, holding a 7-3 lead — nothing to worry about, right?
Well, the defense stopped getting stops. The Bruins were able to score on essentially every possession from that point on, taking a 24-7 lead into the half that probably should have been 27-7, but the Bruins missed a field goal right before halftime.
