The day was December 5th, 2015. 33 seconds left, third and goal on the Iowa one yard line. Connor Cook gives the ball to LJ, he gets stopped by three Iowa players and then has the presence of mind to pivot and reach over the goal-line, touchdown MSU.
Does the play still give you chills? It should. LJ Scott’s senior campaign should see moments like these in the big match-ups that the Spartans find themselves in this year. The senior returns with 2,899 total yards and 25 touchdowns over his freshman through junior year.
The focus has been on QB Brian Lewerke and his playmaking ability (some even saying a dark-horse for the Heisman Trophy).
