by Paul Schwedelson 11/18/2017 9:05:10 PM
Murray well high of Herbert on first, then escapes trouble, picks up 9 before darting out of bounds #msubobcatsFB

by Jon Maletz via twitter 11/18/2017 9:05:56 PM
On back-to-back plays, Murray throws an incomplete pass nowhere near Mitch Herbert. Then he scrambles for 9. Always a threat, but still lacks consistency. That said, he's completed 6 of 9 passes today and hasn't thrown an interception.

by Paul Schwedelson 11/18/2017 9:06:35 PM
Murray keeps all the way for a first at the UM 49. Gain of 6 #msubobcatsFB
