Washington overcomes challenging night of travel to beat Michigan State 21-14 on TD with 2:24 left

In East Lansing, Michigan, Washington State overcame travel delays caused by the FAA grounding all flights to secure a 21-14 victory over Michigan State. Jayden Limar's 1-yard touchdown run with just 2:24 left sealed the game. The Huskies, who have won three straight on the road, arrived at the game about 15 hours before kickoff.

Washington's coach, Jedd Fisch, praised his team's resilience in the face of adversity. Michigan State, under their debut coach Pat Fitzgerald, lost their seventh game in eight, failing to earn an automatic postseason bid. The Spartans missed two opportunities to break the 14-all tie in the second half and ended their comeback hopes with a fumble by Carson Gulker.

Washington capitalized on a trick play, with Demond Williams Jr. tossing the ball to Roebuck, who then passed it back to the quarterback for a 32-yard touchdown to Decker DeGraaf. Michigan State quarterback Alessio Milivojevic left with an injured arm, while Fancher had a solid game despite an injury earlier. Michigan State managed to score twice in the first half, but were held scoreless in the second half.
