Spartans settle for field goal to take the lead
Brian Lewerke keeps it on first down up the middle for a gain of two to give the Spartans some breathing room. LJ Scott gets it on second down for a gain of three. Lewerke finds Darrell Stewart over the middle and he fights ahead to the 25-yard-line. Crisis averted.
Scott runs for a gain of seven on first down and Lewerke shows off his wheels with a quarterback keeper for a gain of six, good enough for a first down at the 38.
The Spartans stick with the running game on the first down.
