PISCATAWAY, N.J. (AP) Freshman LJ Scott scored on a 3-yard run with 43 seconds to play and No. 4 Michigan State walked away with a 31-24 victory over Rutgers on Saturday night.
Scott, who did not play in the first half, also scored on a 1-yard run to help the Spartans (6-0, 2-0 Big Ten) win their 10th straight game. They overcame an impressive return by suspended Rutgers senior receiver Leonte Carroo, who caught three touchdowns.
Connor Cook ompleted 23 of 38 passes for a season-high 357 yards - one less than his career best - and two touchdowns.
