FIRST TRIMBER

After winning the coin toss, Michigan State decided to hold onto the ball until the second half. First to emerge is the Ohio State offence.

Marvin Harrison Jr., a standout player for Ohio State, scores the first touchdown for the Buckeyes with a 19-yard touchdown run. It’s 11:20 in the first quarter, Buckeyes up 6-0.

– MSU mounts a strong first drive into Ohio State territory, but Jonathan Kim misses a 56-yard field goal to seal the victory. With 8:26 left in the first, the Buckeyes are still ahead and regaining possession of the ball.

Harrison finds the end zone once more, this time in the same corner as freshman cornerback Chance Rucker, where he catches a 26-

yard transfer. With 6:56 seconds left in the first period, the Buckeyes lead 14-0.

Michigan State football availability report: Ohio State Spartans against the top-ranked Buckeyes in Week 11 are extremely thin at cornerback.

CLEVELAND, Ohio – A number of prominent Michigan State athletes have been ruled out of Saturday night’s game against Ohio State, which is ranked first.

The starting cornerback Dillon Tatum, starting wide receivers Tre Mosley and Jaron Glover, starting defensive end Chris Bogle, and starting cornerback Chuck Brantley are among the 13 Spartans listed as “out” on the pre-game availability report. Cornerback Semar Melvin, quarterback Noah Kim, defensive tackle Jarrett Jackson, defensive end Bai Jobe, linebacker Darius Snow, running back David Primm, cornerback Marqui Lowery, and defensive tackle Dre Butler are also out for the evening game at Ohio Stadium.

Both Khalil Majeed, the safety, and Brandon Baldwin, the starting left tackle for MSU, are considered “questionable.” Baldwin was not at the team’s last-week victory over Nebraska.

The game will be broadcast on NBC, with kickoff scheduled for 7:30 p.m. at The Horseshoe.

With the exception of true freshman Chance Rucker, all of the Spartans’ cornerback starters this season are now sidelined, leaving them dangerously thin.

To an offence in need of improvement, MSU is happy to have tight end Maliq Carr back after he missed the previous two games. Sam Leavitt, the team’s true freshman quarterback, is in Columbus, but it’s unclear what his status is because he has one more game left to use his redshirt year.
