Michigan State routed by Ohio State 49-20, drops fourth game in a row

The Michigan State Spartans have lost four-straight football games by double-digits. MSU hosted the No.3-ranked Ohio State Buckeyes at Spartan Stadium on Saturday afternoon, and fell in blowout fashion by a final score of 49-20.

While this was an expected result, Michigan State’s season is in a downward spiral. The Spartans fall to 2-4 on the season, and 0-3 in Big Ten Conference play. Ohio State moves to 6-0 (3-0 in conference play).

Michigan State received the ball to begin the game. The Spartans moved the ball a bit, and the possession included a 20-yard pass from quarterback Payton Thorne to wide receiver Jayden Reed, but the drive eventually ended prematurely when Thorne threw an interception to Ohio State safety Lathan Ransom.
