Nobody said winning was always going to be pretty and after three fairly beautiful victories to start the season, Michigan State football muddied things up against Nebraska on Saturday night en route to a 23-20 overtime victory.
Mel Tucker’s team didn’t really get a chance to drag Nebraska into the deep waters as the Cornhuskers controlled the clock for most of the second half, but Michigan State remained focused and stayed alive probably longer than it should have to force overtime. The Spartans won in overtime for the first time since 2012.
The Spartans would pick off Adrian Martinez who had his way with the defense all game long in the opening possession of overtime as Chester Kimbrough made a heck of a play.
