EAST LANSING, Mich. -- Brian Lewerke scored on a 61-yard run in the first quarter, and Michigan State's defense was impressive for a second straight week in a 28-14 victory over Western Michigan on Saturday.
Lewerke added another touchdown on a quarterback sneak and also threw for a TD on a day when the Spartans (2-0) didn't need to do much offensively. Michigan State has allowed only three touchdowns in two games this year. Two of them came on fumble returns and the other on a kickoff return.
The Broncos (0-2) looked like a dangerous opponent after rushing for 263 yards in a season-opening loss to Southern California, but the Spartans contained WMU's running backs.
