No. 1 Ohio State upset by
Spartans in Columbus, 28-24

Game progression
1st Quarter _______

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - Julian
Peterson forced three fumbles and
Renaldo Hill intercepted top-ranked
Ohio State's last gasp at the goal line
with 1:12 left as four-touchdown
underdog Michigan State shocked the
Buckeyes, 28-24, on Saturday.
The Buckeyes - with no one com-
ing within 17 points all year - were
not only No. 1 in both major polls the
entire season, but also in the latest
Bowl Championship Series rankings.
The Spartans trailed 17-3 in the first
quarter and fell behind 24-9 early in the
third quarter when Ohio State's Damon
Moore picked off a Bill Burke pass and
returned it 73 yards for a touchdown.
But Burke didn't make too many
other mistakes, and the Spartans'
defense was close to perfect.
With 3:33 left, Michigan State's T.J.
Turner with help from Sorie Kanu and
Josh Thornhill stuffed the Buckeyes'
Joe Montgomery for no gain on fourth
and 1 at the Spartan 26.

After forcing a punt, the Buckeyes
took over again with 1:39 left, David
Boston's 26-yard punt return putting
them in business at their own 49.
Joe Germaine, who had engineered a
20-17 upset of Arizona State in the
Rose Bowl two years ago under almost
identical circumstances, quickly com-
pleted passes to David Boston and John
Lumpkin for 16 and 20 yards.
That put the ball on the Michigan
State 15, but three straight incomple-
tions - all with the Spartans blitzing
- left the Buckeyes facing another
fourth-down situation.
Again the Spartans came with a full
blitz, leaving flanker Dee Miller isolat-
ed in single coverage on Michigan
State cornerback Hill. Under pressure,
Germaine lobbed the ball to the left
corner of the field, but it was under-
thrown and Hill picked it off.
Michigan State (3-2 Big Ten, 5-4
overall) knocked off a No. 1 for the
second time this decade, beating rival

Michigan 28-27 in 1990. The Spartans
had also done it to Ohio State before,
stunning the top-ranked Buckeyes of
Woody Hayes 16-13 in 1974.
The loss eliminated Ohio State (5-1,
8-1) from consideration for the nation-
al championship game Jan. 4 in the
Fiesta Bowl. It also jeopardized the
Buckeyes' chances of even going to a
top-flight bowl. With two weeks left in
the season, they are alone in third place
in the Big Ten behind Michigan -
which they play in the season finale -
and unbeaten Wisconsin.
The heroes were almost too numer-
ous to mention for the Spartans.
Burke, a native Ohioan, passed for
323 yards and outdueled Germaine,
who had been boosted as a Heisman
Trophy contender on the heels of a
school-record four straight 300-yard
passing games. Burke completed just
18-of-46 passes with one interception,
but frequently hit the big pass on long-
yardage downs.
