Mich St Lewis Focused On Georgia, Outback Bowl

EAST LANSING, Mich. (AP) — It's been less than a month since Michigan State's Rose Bowl dreams fell apart in gut-wrenching fashion at the end of the Big Ten championship game.

Isaiah Lewis was in the middle of two of the night's most important plays and neither went the Spartans' way. He says he got over it quickly.

No. 12 Michigan State takes on No. 18 Georgia in the Outback Bowl on Monday. The Spartans are playing in Tampa, Fla. — instead of at the Rose Bowl — because of their 42-39 loss to Wisconsin in the Big Ten title game. It was an excruciating defeat that was sealed when Lewis ran into the punter in the final minutes.
