Michigan State coach Pat Fitzgerald said the Spartans scored on their first five drives but settled for field goals because self-inflicted wounds stalled possessions across midfield.

Fitzgerald said Michigan State must correct penalties, sacks, and explosive plays allowed after Toledo seized momentum in the third quarter.

Fitzgerald praised quarterback Alessio Milivojevic's decision-making and said his iPad explanations matched what the staff saw on film.

Michigan State's offensive line was described as dominant at times with improved depth, as Robert Wright Jr. and Luka Vincic joined a seven-man rotation up front.

Toledo coach Mike Jacobs said the Rockets needed to be better on early downs after going 1-for-8 on third down, while Michigan State used early-down chunk runs to create manageable third downs.
