Recap
Michigan State held off a furious fourth-quarter rally by Purdue to escape with a 24-21 Big Ten victory at Spartan Stadium. The Spartans dominated early as L.J. Scott powered in two first-quarter rushing touchdowns and Connor Cook connected with R.J. Shelton for a 23-yard score, building a commanding 21-0 halftime lead. The Boilermakers stormed back in the second half behind Markell Jones, who ripped off a 68-yard touchdown run early in the fourth quarter and added a 3-yard score to cut the deficit to 24-21, but Michigan State's defense stood firm down the stretch to preserve the win.
