Loveland caused a stir when the situation calmed down.

“Little brother, keep it up little brothers,” Loveland told FOX Sports. “So, MSU, the little brother. They can do whatever they want. We knew it would be difficult. But we do everything right within the context of the game. And if they want to get busy after that, we’ll get busy.”

Loveland caught a clutch touchdown pass in the fourth quarter to go up 12 points. Donovan Edwards threw him a 23-yard pass for the score. Then Loveland helped complete the 2-point conversion.
