Spartans march down field, melt clock
Madre London rushed for three yards to start the drive and Brian Lewerke threw an incompletion to the flat to force third-and-seven. He then hit Hunter Rison for a 17-yard pass for a first down. Darrell Stewart caught a 25-yard pass, tip-toeing the sideline. A couple of short runs by London led to third-and-five and Lewerke then ran an option for a first down. A few plays later, Michigan State went for it on fourth-and-one and Lewerke ran a QB sneak, falling forward for about three yards. Michigan State spent its first timeout.
