Michigan State’s passing defense exposed in 39-28 loss to Washington

The No. 11/9 Michigan State Spartans traveled to Seattle to take on the Washington Huskies on Saturday night, and walked away with a 39-28 loss.

Washington received the ball to open the game, and it did not take long for the Huskies to open the scoring the game. During the first drive, UW quarterback Michael Penix Jr. hit wide receiver Jalen McMillan for a 47-yard gain. Two plays later, Penix found wide receiver Ja’Lynn Polk for an eight-yard touchdown. Kicker Peyton Henry made the extra point, and the Huskies led 7-0 less than four minutes into the game.
