COLLEGE PARK, Md. – Brian Lewerke got the nod at quarterback. And Michigan State decided that throwing would be its second option Saturday.
The Spartans used a dominating ground game to run for a season-best 269 yards and plow past Maryland for a 24-3 victory at Maryland Stadium. It was the 700th win in program history.
With LJ Scott back in East Lansing due to an injury, Connor Heyward ran 15 times for a career-high 157 yards and two touchdowns, one for 18 yards in the first quarter and another for 80 yards in the fourth period to seal the win.
