Michigan State Falls to Boston College, 23-19

In a heart-wrenching 23-19 loss under rainy conditions at Boston College, Michigan State suffered its first defeat of the season despite controlling the game early. The Spartans took a late lead with a field goal, but a crucial 42-yard touchdown pass from Thomas Castellanos to Lewis Bond gave the Eagles the win. Quarterback Aidan Chiles struggled with his performance, throwing three interceptions, including a game-sealing pick in the end zone with just 36 seconds remaining. Despite a strong showing from wide receiver Montorie Foster Jr. and kicker Jonathan Kim, who made four field goals, Michigan State's four turnovers ultimately proved too costly. The Spartans' defense was commendable, limiting the Eagles in the red zone, but they could not compensate for the offensive mistakes. Injuries impacted the team significantly, as they were missing several key players, contributing to their inability to close out the game.
