Live updates: Defense forces another turnover; MSU leads, 24-14
MSU DEFENSE STEPS UP AGAIN
Just when it seemed like Miami had the momentum, Michigan State's defense put an end to that.
Michigan State's Drew Beesley brought the pressure on Miami quarterback D'Eriq King and forced a fumble, which was scooped up by Jacub Panasiuk.
It was the third turnover of the game for King, with two fumbles and an interception.
The Spartans, with the ball in Hurricanes territory, took advantage, with Michigan State quarterback Payton Thorne finding his good friend Jayden Reed for a 10-yard touchdown pass.
It was Thorne's third touchdown pass of the game, to no interceptions.
It's now Michigan State 24, Miami 14, early in the fourth quarter.
