This question has puzzled me all week. Consider the facts if you are Michigan State.

  1. There are 4 minutes left in 3rd quarter and you just scored to go up by 14 points. 
  2. You have held your opponent to 163 total yards of offense to this point.

And then this happens...

Which leads to this score...

Michigan State fails to move the ball which eventually leads to this at 10:00 minutes remaining in the 4th quarter.

And then this happens...

Sparty is still unable to move the ball, this happens a few short minutes later...

In the last 19 minutes of the game, the Spartans give up almost 270 total yards of total offense and the Hoosiers score 24 points in the upset.

In my opinion, this is a sign of a team that is tired.  Sparty does not have enough depth and their good players are playing far too many snaps. This is a common thread for all of their games.

Indiana is sound but lacks true talent.  Ohio State will not falter from lack of depth. Buckeyes 49-14.
