State College, Pa. — Michigan State went for broke Saturday and it paid off with a win that might turn around its season.
Brian Lewerke connected with Felton Davis for a 25-yard touchdown with 19 seconds to play to give the Spartans a 21-17 victory over No. 8 Penn State in front of 106,685 at Beaver Stadium, the second straight loss for the Nittany Lions.
Michigan State (4-2, 2-1 Big Ten) used all its tricks, calling a fake punt, a halfback pass and a fake field goal — the fake field goal failing in the fourth quarter and looking like the difference in the game.
