Michigan State Spartans Football vs. Prairie View A&M

Brantley Pick-Six! MSU leads 27-0 at halftime

Pick-six! What a way to end the first half. Michigan State's Charles Brantley intercepts Prairie View A&M's Cameron Peters' pass in the end zone and carries the ball the length of the field for a touchdown. Brantley's 100-yard touchdown is the longest in program history, along with five other defensive touchdowns. The extra point is worthless, and the Spartans head to the locker room with a 27-0 lead.

Carter's explosive touchdown gives MSU a 21-0 lead

The Spartans scored another touchdown to extend their lead to 21 points. Chiles handed the ball off to Nate Carter, who rushed an impressive 60 yards. Prairie View A&M tried to answer with 4:45 left in the first half.

Panthers remain goalless

The Panthers end their 10-play drive with an unsuccessful 37-yard field goal attempt by Guillermo Garcia Rodriguez. MSU wants to extend its lead and will start at its own 20-yard line (7:43 2Q).

Prairie View A&M continues to struggle to get things going. The Panthers are three-and-out and have to punt. MSU starts at its own two-yard line (13:58 2Q).

Johnson scores touchdown, Spartans lead 14-0

Touchdown, MSU! Chiles finds Aziah Johnson for a 17-yard touchdown. The extra point is good and the Spartans end the first quarter with a 14-point lead over the Panthers (0:07 1st quarter).

Chile's touchdown puts MSU ahead 7-0

Aidan Chiles of Michigan State rushes six yards and puts the Spartans in the lead. The extra point counts and the Green-Whites lead 7-0 (6:13 1st quarter).

Prairie View A&M starts with the ball

Michigan State wins the coin toss and pushes back. Prairie View A&M struggles to find its offensive rhythm on the opening drive and has to punt the ball away. The Spartans have the ball on their own 40-yard line (12:24 1st quarter).

Michigan State (2-0, 1-0 Big Ten) looks to remain undefeated when it hosts Prairie View A&M (1-1) for the first time in program history on Saturday afternoon.

In last Saturday's game, the Spartans came back and sealed a 27-24 road win over Maryland with a 37-yard field goal by Jonathan Kim to open Big Ten play.

MSU quarterback Aidan Chiles struggled with consistency against the Terrapins, throwing three interceptions. Chiles completed 24 of 39 passing attempts for 363 yards, the eighth-most by a quarterback in a single game in program history.

Nick Marsh had an outstanding performance with eight catches for 194 yards, including a 77-yard touchdown to tie the game in the fourth quarter and bolster MSU's closing momentum.

Prairie View A&M is coming off a 37-31 non-conference win over Northwestern State last week. Prairie View A&M's Cameron Peters completed 18 of 33 passing attempts for 280 yards. The quarterback threw two touchdowns and two interceptions.
