The Spartans had a slow start as Utah State pulled ahead 7-0 to start the game. The Spartans were finally on the board after Matt Coughlin nailed a 49-yard field goal and another from 32 yards out, 7-6 Aggies.

Brian Lewerke would find Cody White for an 8-yard touchdown bringing the Spartans up 13-7. The Aggie's Darwin Thompson retaliated with his own 2-yard touchdown, 14-13 USU. Lewerke would find Felton Davis, for the touchdown, with 48 seconds left in the half, Spartans 20-14.

Connor Heyward would start his breakout season, running a 17-yard touchdown during the third quarter, 27-14 MSU. USU would come back with Dominik Eberle's 40-yard field goal, MSU 27, USU 17. Lewerke's interception pass went right into the hands of Game Ferguson, who returned it for a 40-yard touchdown, MSU 27- USU 24.

Coughlin's 24-yard field goal would put the Spartans in a much more comfortable position to start the 4th quarter, 30-24 MSU. Thompson would surprise the Spartans' defense as he ran a 1-yard touchdown, and forcing Spartan Stadium into a stunned silence, as the Aggies took the lead 31-30 with 5 minutes left in the game. Heyward would return once again, saving the day with his 13-yard run, and a successful 2 point conversion, Lewerke to Davis, 38-31.

The Spartan defense would return to the field one more time as the Aggies had one last chance to take the game. Linebacker Joe Bachie, for the Spartans, would seal the game as Bachie would get his hands in the ball's path, bobble the ball a bit, and finally catches it, causing the game-saving interception for the Spartans.

Brian Lewerke would finish 23-33 for 287 yards, 2 touchdowns, and 1 interception. Cody White lead the Flight Crew with 5 receptions for 70 yards and 1 touchdown. LJ Scott lead on the ground with 23 carries for 84 yards. Connor Heyward had a breakout night as his sophomore season started off with a bang.

The Spartans travel to Tempe, Arizona to battle against Arizona State, the other school that was in Spartan Quarterback Brian Lewerke's Top Two. This should be an interesting game. Go Green!
