EAST LANSING, Mich. — Eno Benjamin reached the ball to the goal line for a 1-yard touchdown run with 50 seconds remaining Saturday, and Arizona State beat No. 18 Michigan State 10-7 after the Spartans had a tying field goal negated for having too many men on the field.
Matt Coghlin’s 42-yard kick appeared to have tied it with six seconds left, but a replay showed too many men on the field for Michigan State (2-1), which rushed the field-goal team on in a disorganized fashion against the Sun Devils (3-0).
Coghlin had to try again from farther back after the penalty and hooked the kick left for his third miss of the day.
Michigan State Coach Mark Dantonio missed a chance to take over sole possession of first place on the school’s career victories list. He remains tied with Duffy Daugherty at 109.
