Two plays, two fumbles and one scapegoat. That’s how the game started for Michigan State’s offense as even the announcers were using phrases like “Brian Lewerke involved in two turnovers” which gave a certain part of the fanbase exactly what it needed to hear.
And then Lewerke bounced back after Ohio State took a 10-0 lead, engineering a quick drive down the field which ended with a touchdown strike to a fired-up Darrell Stewart Jr. who had his helmet ripped off in the process. All the doubt about the offense in its first couple of drives was erased, if just for a moment.
