FINAL: Devin Smith was Braxton Miller’s favorite target in No. 14 Ohio State’s 17-16 victory over No. 18 Michigan State on Saturday at Spartan Stadium. Smith made himself available to Miller for two receptions and 79 yards. Andrew Maxwell kept the Spartans’ offense on track, throwing for 269 yards and one touchdown on 22 of 42 passing.
The Buckeyes’ defense was stifling as they shut down Ohio State’s offensive attack. The Buckeyes’ defense allowed just 307 total yards as it frustrated Michigan State’s offense.
Ohio State’s Miller passed for 179 yards, completing 16 of 23 throws. He tossed one touchdown and one interception. Miller also ran for 135 yards on 23 attempts. Corey Brown was the player Miller targeted most often. He hauled in 12 catches for 84 yards.
The Buckeyes racked up 384 total yards. Ohio State complemented Miller’s passing with 205 yards rushing on 44 attempts.
