Michigan State takes first-quarter lead

Connor Heyward takes it up the middle for 9 yards on first down and gains 3 yards on second down to move the chains.

Brian Lewerke fakes to Heyward on play-action, leaving the right side of the field wide open for the Spartan quarterback to pick up 9 yards with his feet before popping out-of-bounds. Heyward picks up another first down with a 4-yard run. It'll be first-and-10 at the 46.

Lewerke runs for about a yard on first down. Lewerke misses Cody White over the middle on second down.
