WESTERN MICHIGAN DEFENSIVE END MOORE MAKES BIG PLAYS, BRONCOS BEATS #24 SPARTANS 21-19

Late in the game, the Spartans were down 21-13, but WR Burge faked out Western SS Davis and caught a 43-yard touchdown pass to make the game 21-19. Western was backed up and threatening to give the game away, but on the two-point conversion, DE David Moore blew past his blocker and drilled the quarterback.
Western would recover the onside kick, but go three and out. Michigan State had the ball at their own 19 with 48 seconds to go. Their quarterback threw a deep pass on first down to the Western 47. Then there were two incompletions to bring up third down with 18 seconds.
David Moore overpowered his blocker and hit Spartan QB Garry Kelly causing the pass to fall incomplete (The tight end was wide open at the 27). Now it was fourth down and 10 with 12 seconds. Michigan State was out of field goal range, but they had a time out. Kelly took the snap and was immediately pressured by David Moore. Kelly scrambled and looked downfield, but everyone was covered, so Kelly ran for the first down. No one could get there. Then, David Moore dove and tripped Kelly up causing him to fall two yards shy of the marker.

Records from Michigan:
Michigan is 1-2
MSU is 2-1
WMU is 1-1
Central is 0-3
Eastern is 0-3.
