GAME RECAP: Wayne State began its 2015 campaign with a 20-15 setback at Michigan Tech’s Sherman Field. The Warriors, after trailing 20-2 at halftime, and using a third-string true freshman quarterback (D.J. Zezula), rallied for 13 consecutive points in the second half.

HOW IT HAPPENED • WSU lost fifth-year senior quarterback Carl Roscoe after the first offensive play of the game. • Michigan Tech drove 70 yards in six plays to take a 7-0 lead on a 47-yard pass from Brandon Cowie to Ian Fischer for the lone score of the first half. • Huskies took a 14-0 lead early in the second period on a six-yard touchdown run by Cowie. • The Warriors scored their second safety in the last three games with 9:05 left in the first half following a 39-yard punt by Rabeah Beydoun, who was punting for the injured Paul Graham and Ethan Walsh. • MTU took a 20-2 lead on 12-yard TD pass from Cowie to David Walter with 10 seconds left before halftime. • Wayne State scored 13 points in the fourth quarter, after a scoreless third period. • WSU’s first touchdown of the season was a 22- yard completion from Zezula to Jamel Hicks (East Cleveland, Ohio / Shaw) on a first-and-15. • The final TD of the game was a 9-yard pass from Zezula to Will Wheat (Grand Blanc, Mich.) on a third-and-goal.
