Minnesota Vs. Michigan State Update: Spartans Lead 31-24 Late

Minnesota actually has a chance to beat Michigan State, which would give it a second straight B1G victory. But don’t hold your breath -- this is Minnesota we’re talking about, and they’ve still got the ability to do things like give up 10 points in the fourth quarter to lose the lead.

Well, lookee here. It's 31-24 Michigan State after just such an implosion, and we've got about half the fourth quarter left to go. A 35-yard rushing touchdown for Le'Veon Bell and a 40-yard field goal by Dan Conroy have helped put the Spartans back in the lead after a topsy-turvy game that seen its share of lead changes.

Overall, Bell has 94 yards and a pair of scores on 14 carries and Kirk Cousins is 22-of-33 for 290 yards and two more touchdowns for Sparty. MarQueis Gray is 15-of-23 for 237 yards, three touchdowns and an interception for Minnesota.
