MINNEAPOLIS _ A rain delay, a sloppy start and a late fade could not slow Michigan State's building momentum.
Not with a return to form by LJ Scott.
The junior running back, who sat out last week's win at Michigan, returned with a career high 194 yards to pace the No. 21 Spartans' 30-27 victory over Minnesota on Saturday night at TCF Bank Stadium.
After a 34-minute lightning delay, the MSU run game produced its best performance of the season to improve the Spartans to 5-1 overall and 3-0 in the Big Ten.
The Gophers' Demry Croft threw three TD passes to Tyler Johnson in the fourth quarter, the last coming with 1:06 to play. But MSU's Cody White recovered the onside kick to allow MSU to run out the clock.
