It only amounted to about five minutes of actual game time, but the experience Brian Lewerke got last year against Michigan is hard to quantify. Now Michigan State’s starting quarterback, Lewerke was called on in the fourth quarter of last season’s rivalry game with the Wolverines and sparked a stagnant offense, leading it to a touchdown that cut Michigan’s lead to 30-17, then marching the Spartans into the red zone on the next drive. However, it all ended there as Lewerke was sacked by Michigan’s Jabrill Peppers, a play that broke Lewerke’s leg and knocked him out for the rest of the season.
