Illinois Makes a Stop on Michigan State’s 2-Point Conversion Attempt in OT, Holds on for 38-37 Win
Michael Clayton threw the winning overtime touchdown as Illinois held Michigan State to a failed 2-point conversion attempt.
- On Saturday, October 10, Illinois defeated Michigan State 38-37 in overtime after quarterback Michael Clayton II connected with receiver Hudson Clement for a 25-yard touchdown. The Spartans failed a decisive 2-point conversion, extending their losing streak to four games.
- Michigan State trailed by 17 points early before rallying in the second half, while defensive injuries compounded the struggle. Starting linebackers Jordan Hall and Brady Pretzlaff exited before halftime, forcing the Spartans to rely on true freshmen in crucial moments.
- Former Spartan Katin Houser threw for 194 yards and a touchdown before leaving with a hand injury in the third quarter. Backup Clayton steered the Illini offense while running back Jaziun Patterson countered with three rushing touchdowns for Michigan State.
- Coach Pat Fitzgerald remains winless in Big Ten play after the defeat dropped the team to 2-4, 0-3 in conference. A controversial officiating decision on an onside kick recovery by true freshman Samson Gash drew Fitzgerald's visible frustration late in the game.
- Northwestern visits Spartan Stadium next Saturday, October 17, for a noon kickoff in a homecoming rematch. The contest marks the first time Fitzgerald will coach against his alma mater, where he served as head coach for 17 seasons from 2006 to 2022.
