OT interception lifts No. 20 Spartans over Nebraska 23-20

EAST LANSING, Mich. -- , Michigan State coach Mel Tucker said he showed his players video highlights of special teams units around the country making game-changing plays. His 20th-ranked Spartans delivered a local adaptation on Saturday night. With the offense sputtering, Jayden Reed returned a punt 62 yards for a tying touchdown with 3:47 left in regulation, and Chester Kimbrough 's huge defensive play in overtime helped send the Spartans to a 23-20 win over Nebraska. Matt Coghlin 's 21-yard field goal on MSU's overtime possession kept his team unbeaten and set off a celebration at Spartan Stadium. MSU has won nine of its last 11 night games and is out to its best start since the 2015 team opened 8-0. Kimbrough’s interception came when he stepped in front of Samori Toure just as the ball was arriving on third down.
