  "account": "East Lansing, Mich. — Jayden Limar's 1-yard touchdown run with just 2:24 remaining secured a 21-14 victory for Washington over Michigan State, despite the Huskies facing a challenging night of travel and limited sleep. The Huskies (6-4, 3-4 Big Ten) advanced to postseason eligibility with the win, while Michigan State (3-7, 1-6) fell to its seventh loss in eight games. Michigan State missed two opportunities to break a 14-all tie in the second half, and Carson Gulker's fumble with 35 seconds left ended their comeback hopes. Cam Fancher, the Spartans' quarterback, committed two costly mistakes, throwing an ill-advised pass late in the third quarter and later fumbling at the Washington 41. Washington capitalized on a trick play, with Demond Williams Jr. setting up the game-winning drive by throwing a lateral back to the quarterback. The game marked the first time Washington earned a bowl berth since Jedd Fisch became head coach in 2021. Michigan State quarterback Alessio Milivojevic suffered an injury in the second quarter, completing just 7 of 12 passes for 108 yards. Fancher, who battled an injury during the game, completed 14 of 22 passes for 134 yards and an interception.",
