Michigan State once again proves you can't count the Spartans out

  • 8 years ago
No. 5 Michigan State's final drive only seemed like it lasted longer than a session of Congress.
Wine had time to age when the Spartans took over on their own 18 with 9-plus minutes left Saturday in the Big Ten Championship Game.
Saplings had time to grow into sequoias when quarterback Connor Cook looked up field with his team down 13-9, with less than 6 minutes gone in the fourth quarter.
Michigan State used the mother of all drives to become a band of brothers Saturday night.
Twenty-one plays and 81 yards after the drive began, Cook handed off to freshman tailback L.J. Scott, who extended his right arm to break the plane from a yard out with 27 seconds to beat No. 3 Iowa 16-13.
