MISSED CHANCES
Lions squander opportunities on offense and defense in loss to Spartans
Penn State had its chances on Saturday against
Michigan State. Indeed, it was one interception
away from holding off the Spartans and staying in
contention for the Big Ten East Division title.
But the Nittany Lions didn't get that interception
on an ill-advised pass by Brian Lewerke late in the
fourth quarter, as Amani Oruwariye wasn't able to
hold onto the ball. Michigan State capitalized on its
good fortune, maintaining possession and scoring
a touchdown on a 25-yard catch by Felton Davis
with 19 seconds le> to defeat Penn State, 21-17.
It was the second game in a row in which the Nit-
tany Lions weren't able to hold onto a fourth-
quarter lead, and it echoed the team's midseason
