      TAMPA, Fla. - Kirk Cousins threw for 300 yards and one
touchdown and Dan Conroy kicked a 28-yard field goal in the third
overtime, giving No. 12 Michigan State a 33-30 victory over No. 18
Georgia in the Outback Bowl on Monday.
      Georgia's Blair Walsh became the Southeastern Conference's
career scoring leader with a field goal in the second extra period.
But he missed a 42-yarder in the first overtime after conservative
play-calling and had a 47-yard attempt blocked on the final play of
the game.
      Michigan State (11-3) ended a five-game bowl losing streak with
its first postseason win since beating Fresno State in the 2001
Silicon Valley Bowl. Georgia (10-4) finished on a two-game losing
streak, including a lopsided loss to top-ranked LSU in the SEC
championship game.
