Rocky Lombardi enters the game to massive cheers after the touchback.
Lombardi's throw on first down is over the top to Cody White for a gain of 27 yards. The Spartans are already in Buckeye territory at the 48.
Is next throw bounces off the hands of Matt Dotson. Brendan White was covering Dotson tightly, forcing the incompletion. Lombardi goes back to White on second down for a gain of 13 that'll move the chains and make it first-and-10 at the Ohio State 35.
Lombardi throws a dangerous pass to White that eventually falls to the turf.
