Michigan State slips past Ohio State, 10-7

[OSUBasketballJunkie]

Ohio State football’s defeat to Michigan State on Saturday was more than a setback in the Big Ten standings. It was nearly a loss of historic proportions.

A 33-yard touchdown pass from senior quarterback Kirk Cousins to senior receiver B.J. Cunningham midway through the first quarter put the Spartans up early, 7-0. A field goal in the fourth quarter by Dan Conroy proved to be enough for the Spartans.

With 10 seconds to go in the game red shirt senior quarterback JoeBauserman found Evan Spencer for a 33-yard touchdown pass to cut the lead to 10-7.

But it was too little, too late for the Buckeyes.

OSU was only able to accumulate 178 yards of offense. MSU had 324 yards of total offense and all the scoring it would need to win, 10-7.

The Buckeyes were a mere 10 seconds from being shutout for the first time since a 1993 blanking at the hands of Michigan. It would have been the first shutout at the ‘Shoe since October 1982, against Wisconsin.

With freshman quarterback Braxton Miller making his second career start, the Buckeyes started the game slowly, accumulating only 42 yards of total offense in the first quarter.

If we had an offense, we run away with this game. Thanks to our defense, MSU didn't run away with it and route it

I dont know about 'slips' past. Looks like they knew what we were doing before we did it.

To that point, they timed the snap-count routinely Saturday.

The title should've read.......

"Ohio State slips past the line of scrimmage, once."

i had a good laugh yesterday at 5 yr old football game. the first play a little guy took the ball back 40 yrds for a TD. the first words that muttered out of my mouth was that team already had more yards then ohio state's total offense the first half. kinda funny and sad at the same time.
