1. Ohio State wins on last-second field goal

Ohio State will give the Spartans a taste of their own medicine in this one. While the line is a ridiculous 17 points now, Michigan State knows just how to play Urban Meyer and the Buckeyes. No one is expecting the Spartans to win this one and that’s what makes the game so intriguing.

These are the types of games Michigan State wins. Just think back to 2015 when Connor Cook was ruled out with an injured shoulder and the Spartans were forced to start Tyler O’Connor and sub in Damion Terry and they still found a way to get the win on their way to a Big Ten title and playoff berth. To end that game, the Spartans, namely Michael Geiger, kicked a game-winning field goal and windmilled through Columbus.

This year, Ohio State is going to deliver that result to the Spartans and Michigan State fans won’t be able to do anything but give the Buckeyes credit for handling their business. Michigan State has won on a number of last-second plays over the years and this one will give the Spartans a taste of what it’s like to lose in that fashion.
