Washington Beats Michigan State on Late Limar Touchdown

Washington overcame travel delays and limited sleep to beat Michigan State 21-14, earning its third consecutive road win and becoming bowl eligible. Jayden Limar scored the deciding touchdown on a 1-yard run with 2:24 remaining.

The teams were tied 14-14 at halftime. Washington quarterback Demond Williams Jr. threw two touchdown passes to Chris Lawson, including a 58-yard score. Michigan State answered with two first-half touchdowns, including a 2-yard pass from Cam Fancher to Bryson Williams.

Neither team scored in the third quarter. Washington intercepted Fancher late in the period, and Michigan State missed a 50-yard field goal early in the fourth. The Huskies broke the tie with a trick play that led to a 32-yard pass to Decker DeGraaf before Limar’s touchdown.

Michigan State’s final chance ended when Carson Gulker fumbled at the Washington 41 with 35 seconds left. The Spartans have lost seven of their last eight games and, at 3-7, cannot earn an automatic postseason bid. Quarterback Alessio Milivojevic left with a left-arm injury; Fancher also exited briefly before returning.

Washington (6-4) hosts No. 6 Indiana next Saturday. No. 18 Oregon visits Michigan State (3-7) Friday night.
