MSU football defeated Iowa in dramatic fashion in the Big Ten Football championship game, 16-13. A touchdown from freshman running back L.J. Scott from 1-yard out with 27 seconds remaining clinched the victory.
The atmosphere at Lucas Oil Stadium shifted toward Iowa on the first play of the fourth quarter.
This is because the play was also the first touchdown of the game and because it was an 85-yard reception -- the 2015 Spartan fans’ biggest fear.
Iowa junior quarterback C.J. Beathard threw the pass to senior wide receiver Trevaun Smith and he took it the distance.
