Then 30 seconds left in the first half and Connor Cook scrambles to his right and fires to the endzone…TOUCHDOWN! The lead is back down 3! And then, 3rd quarter and Cook throws deep to Bennie  Fowler who stiffs arms a defender all the way 60 yards to the Stanford 15. They would kick a field goal to tie the game at 17! 3rd and long for Stanford now and Kevin Hogan throws deep to Devon Cajuste all the way, 51 yards into MSU territory! Stanford would turn it over on downs so MSU ball and Connor Cook throws over the middle and finds Tony Lippet for a 25 yard TD! 24-20 MSU now, 1 minute 46 seconds left in the game, 4th down for Stanford and they run it up the gut with Ryan Hewitt who is stuffed!
