EAST LANSING - Brian Lewerke felt the pressure coming from the blind side, dodged a sack and slid a few steps to his left.
The Michigan State quarterback eyed wide receiver Felton Davis in the left side of the end zone blanketed by a defender but threw to him anyway.
Lewerke kept the ball to the outside of the field, Davis created just enough separation and made an impressive catch as Utah State safety Gaje Ferguson had a handful of his jersey while falling to the ground.
It was an exercise in confidence and trust and one that put a touchdown on the scoreboard for No.
