With LJ Scott sidelined for the game and the Michigan State Spartans passing for fewer than 100 yards, a win would seem unlikely. However, the Spartans handled the Maryland Terrapins, winning 24-3.
Nothing about the game Saturday in College Park was ordinary. But the win was Michigan State’s sixth of the season, making them bowl eligible for the second year in a row.
After the MSU defense forced a three-and-out on the first drive of the game, Brian Lewerke took the field for the first time since midway through the Michigan game two weeks earlier.
