Michigan State forces three-and-out on opening drive
Michigan State has won the toss and will defer.
Cole Hahn's kickoff is returned by Kerby Joseph 25 yards to the Illinois 35. Brandon Peters fumbles the snap and falls on it for a loss of 6 on the opening play. Peters' second-down throw to Casey Washington misses the mark and falls incomplete. Peters gets loose from the pocket and scrambles on third down, only getting 11 as Illinois will be forced to punt it away.
Blake Hayes' punt goes out of bounds at the Michigan State 22.
