EAST LANSING − Michigan State football could not finish the job.
The Spartans were forced to play backup QB Cam Fancher after a second-quarter left hand/arm injury to starter Alessio Milivojevic, but they could not make enough plays on offense in a 21-14 loss to Washington on Saturday, Nov. 14, at chilly Spartan Stadium.

MSU (3-7, 1-6 Big Ten) is now set to miss a bowl game for a fifth consecutive season, while the Huskies (6-4, 3-4) are now bowl eligible. UW landed in the East Lansing area at 3 a.m. after the flight outage nationwide Friday afternoon.
MSU’s Liam Boyd missed a go-ahead 50-yard field goal early in the fourth quarter after the offense gained just 1 yard following a UW muffed punt. Fancher flipped an awful INT late in the third quarter in the red zone, trying to do too much while in the grasp of a defender.
