Michigan State’s defense led Indiana’s offense to start the contest, forcing consecutive three-and-outs. Between those drives, the Spartans’ offense put together an eight-play, 52-yard drive that ended with a field goal. The drive was highlighted by a 33-yard catch by Spartans wide receiver Nick Marsh on just the third play of the possession.

Marsh would finish the game with 78 yards and a touchdown on five receptions.

After that second three-and-out forced by its defense, Michigan State’s offense came back down the field with an opportunity to extend its lead. And that’s exactly what he did.

The Spartans would drive down into the red zone before eventually facing third-and-long. But Chiles would salvage the drive, escaping to his left from what would have been a blind sack and taking off for a giant 9-yarder to pick up the new set of downs.

A few plays later, the sophomore quarterback found Marsh in the end zone for an 18-yard touchdown catch.

Michigan State led, 10-0.

But the lack of points wouldn’t last for an Indiana team that had produced just 10 total yards up to that point.

The Hoosiers responded with a seven-play, 75-yard touchdown drive that was capped by a 17-yard reception by Indiana wide receiver Zach Horton.

The deficit returned to 3 points.

Then it was the Spartans offense’s turn to start exploding, as three plays into the next drive, Chiles threw an interception.

Indiana would get the ball back on their own 45 yard line with a chance to take over. But the Spartans’ defense returned to its early success, forcing another three-and-out after it looked like the Hoosiers had found the answer on their previous possession.

Unfortunately for Michigan State, a response drive that showed signs of promise with two big gains from Marsh and Aziah Johnson would end with a failed third-down conversion. Facing only fourth-and-1, the Spartans punted from their own 27-yard line.

Indiana’s offense would pick up on the next drive, finding the end zone in just four plays, exposing Michigan State through the air with back-to-back 38- and 25-yard gains.

Michigan State went 14-10 after being the only opponent the Hoosiers faced so far this season.

The Spartans’ offense, needing to end its scoring drought, would only continue to struggle as Chiles threw another interception on the day. He threw 11 total this season.

Indiana capitalized on the takeaway, scoring a second straight touchdown, this time on six plays. With that, the Hoosiers extended their lead to 21 points with just over 2 minutes left in the first half. They would carry that lead into halftime.

Michigan State opened the second half with the ball, but couldn’t capitalize on it. And after another three-and-out for the Indiana defense, Spartan Ryan Eckley’s punt was blocked in the end zone. In an effort to prevent the Hoosiers from recovering the ball for a touchdown, Eckley kicked it out of the end zone and was penalized for it. A safety would be awarded for the Hoosiers, increasing their lead to 23-10.

Indiana’s offense would follow that dominant defensive run with a six-play, 65-yard drive to put it up 30-10.

Michigan State would finally start to show a resurgence on offense the next drive, but would be stopped on downs once it crossed midfield. Chiles went down on the road after suffering what appeared to be a wrist injury, and was replaced by Tommy Schuster for the final two plays of the possession. Chiles did not return to the contest.

Chiles was 16 of 24 on the day, throwing for 193 yards and a touchdown.

The Hoosiers continued to build offensively, marching down the stretch for more points, though this time the Spartans held them to a field goal. Even so, the lead grew to 33-10.

Indiana would expose Schuster on the next drive, sacking him for a 14 loss on third-and-long after pressuring him on the play before that nearly led to an interception.

On the Spartans’ punt attempt, a bad snap would force Eckley to take off with the ball. He was brought down at Michigan State’s 21-yard line, setting up an eventual Indiana touchdown.

The Hoosiers had a 40-10 lead with less than a minute left in the fourth quarter. He would add one more touchdown before all was said and done.

47 unanswered points.

Michigan State will get its second bye week after Saturday’s loss. He will look to regroup before getting back on the road to face Illinois.
