ESPN RECAP

Kleather kicks three field goals in No. 25 Northwestern's 24-21 win over Michigan State

EAST LANSING, Mich. -- , Jackson Kleather kicked three field goals, including the game-winning 34-yarder with 2 seconds left Saturday to rally No. 25 Northwestern to a 24-21 win over Michigan State. Aidan Chiles tied the game at 21 with 7:24 remaining when he scored on a 1-yard run and threw to Alex Honig on a 2-point conversion for Northwestern (5-1 overall, 2-1 Big Ten). After Matthew Smith blocked Michigan State's Liam Boyd 33-yard field-goal attempt, Chiles then drove the Wildcats 64 yards in eight plays to set up the winning kick. Chiles, who started 20 games at Michigan State the past two seasons before transferring to Northwestern, completed 18 of 27 passes for 226 yards and also had 16 carries for 25 yards. “Never a doubt,” Chiles said. “We knew we were going to win this game. We just didn’t know how. We came out, we finished the game like we were supposed to.
