On Saturday night, the Spartans made the big plays. They made two interceptions, including one returned 23 yards for a touchdown by Julian Peterson. Burke connected with Plaxico Burress for an 86-yard touchdown past, the longest the Irish have ever allowed. And Sean Banks got the ball rolling when he blocked an Irish punt that safety Richard Newsome picked up to score. Playing free and loose, the Spartans seemed to learn valuable lessons from Campbell's injury.
Life is short.
Live for today. And if you are going to play the game, enjoy the game. On one hand, I applaud the Spartans for rallying around a teammate. It is the noble thing to do. At some point, the Spartans will have to just play football.
