The general expectation heading into Saturday’s spring game was that the defense would win. That happened, but not without a fight from a clearly-improved offense led by Brian Lewerke.
Actually, the offense had some big plays, including a 50-yard catch and run by Connor Heyward in the fourth quarter to cap off an impressive day. The defense did win 42-26 — the scoring format is interesting with the defense recording three points every five minutes and three per turnover as well — but the offense reached the end zone three times.
There’s still a long way to go, but we did get a good feel about the 2019 Spartans from the Green-White Game.
