hello again everybody from Spartan Stadium East Lansing misses town anyway along with Dave Mackay and Ed burrows were today for the 62nd time the traditional battle between the Spartans of Michigan State and Wolverines of the University of Michigan it's a beautiful football afternoon here in East Lansing the temperature right now at the 58 degree mark sunny skies although we do have a little bit of wind with us could play an important factor in this game in that it is gusting up to 25 miles an hour out of the west southwest and that does present a little bit of a problem in that it is a crosswind and the could play a little bit of a factor as far as the passings and the kicking is concerned I mentioned this is the 62nd time that these teams have met and certainly one of the leading rivalries in the nation collegiate football I'm Gary Boyd says he prepares to move into the football to got the first 60 second meeting underway then we are underway it comes down to Henry started out put one be on the ground and they'll bring it onto the plate first and indigo or Michigan first and ten languages in their place of Gaillard this time they have Harris flank wide to the right Hank which is foot to the left five yards of Moy to back to back get rid of it it is instant as triplet turns and has been suffering from an injury certain Steve chose playing on the line while Foreman is playing a wing to the right side triplet again on the same play slides over left Boreas back to pass suck at the 40-yard line bye big number 88 rich saw the senior co-captain from Butler Pennsylvania who shopped through there that time from his defensive end position and Michigan first in Central Michigan at their own 35-yard line Morehead fakes to Doughty to keeps it himself he's hit at the line of scrimmage for no gain that's a linebacker in place of a tackle on third intense situation as Morehead gives off on the draught of Doughty and he's hit the line of scrimmage began slides forward at the 36 yard line three green shirt and Spartans were there to stop him included Tom Barnum who just went in there Ron curl and Ron Joseph so it'll be fourth down and nine Michigan able to move the ball at all on that theory he'll jump it calling out the signal hands off makes two Highsmith pitches beat the far left behind those go near the 45 Wow time to head over here - if finds a hole with the middle and bangs it up to the 43 yard line up in the middle of a Spartan offensive line hand off give it a strip he finds a hole on the left side and he's inside 250 all I saw drivers ship equipped to that side of Drive 20 looks as though he has a first down as he is over the patio Heidi and the Spartans of driving bay trail 3 to nothing tripper then there's that play around the left side he goes to the 30 the 25 the 20 the 15 of attendance and he is knocked down at about the 5-yard line no sooner did a hammer out of my mouth that he came right back with it fourth down over there by filthy more and Mike Taylor and the Saudis have it pushed and all of the michigan fish and needless to say the Martin oriented fraud is puffin yelling third and goal from the Michigan to as Michigan State took the turn we shaken up on that play and he looked as though he may have injured his ribs as he is going model of all game now as Highsmith that's between head down and dove into the end zone from two yards out Celinda can State has gone on top six to three Jerry boys will be trying to make it seven steps into the ball puts it up and through and Michigan State has gone on top seven to three by maxing an 80-yard Drive in 12 plays with Highsmith's going over from two yards out with 917 remaining in this second quarter so now it's the Wolverines who have to come back was 7:45 to go in the first half Michigan State leading 7 to 3 warhead tumbles big column for the 33 state has we go well we didn't see who came up with that football I think was big 79 we're on Joseph turned down in three hours to go triplet turn gives off the high stress feel or to play down the 15-yard line goes down high Smith as he ran into Cecil fire but again a big gaping hole opened up in the right side of that sparking line by Ron Saul and Drake license time third down and five yards to go triplet takes to the map rolls off to the right side he's gonna right along well the flavor obviously was all during that last timeout bill Shipp but instead of going to the website as he has been doing all afternoon touched the ball and went to the light side this time and he found some tremendous blocking out in front of him and have given the Spartans a 13 to 3 lead over Michigan and now Gary Boyce is in there to try to convert on his second try and make it 14 to 3 snap the kick it's good and the Spartans come back up the field leading the Wolverines one team to three that drive of Michigan State following a fumble recovery by Ron Joseph went 32 yards in six plays with triplets cleansing it on a 10 yard scamper there's the kick it's a Boomer bends down he back to the end zone and he's not trying to run it out they's right there wanna feel that what a cars roaring now wait a minute I think they're calling it safety now as they say that dowdy caught that ball and went back into the end zone with it that's what it is now he is called for taking that dick in the case of momentum as to who supplied it but if a player feels the kickoff outside of the endzone and then goes back into the endzone of his own momentum not supplied by that of the Opposition then that is the safety that's exactly what runs out he did that's the kick retreated into the endzone to down at then in the minute that he must use me down it was a safety and two points for Michigan State and now aged 16 to 3 and was yet Michigan has to get up the football on the safety they are a lot of free kick now at their own 20 that is a play that is very seldom seen whoa ed takes the snap gives off on the dropped about he faces oh and he get out of driving tackle back at the 50 yard line by Brad McClean well a good fake that time to Doughty but mcclee didn't buy it as the sophomore from Uniontown Pennsylvania stayed right in Baron Rathmore head back at the 50 - 9 yard loss and long long yard he does more at the 44-yard light of Michigan second down and 11 with a yard law in the last 35 before the 40 fall I had a knockdown at the 47 yard line by Tom Curtis another first down for Michigan State at the lone 46 yard line that's the ninth first down of the day for the Spartans we lose Michigan 9 to 7 in that department after a slow start Dave McKay and it burrows back at Spartan Stadium where the Spartans have a second or six the handoff is given the high Smith who heard of one man Dave honey speaking before T is bang down by very person and Phil Seymour at the 38 yard line of Michigan Highsmith running well that time simply leapt over one would be Michigan tied we're back at the line of scrimmage and was able to give the Spartans another first down at the 37 I get out in four yards to go for Michigan State after Michigan 31 yard line as Triplett is back to pass his only second attempt today Steve Cole was hit by Brian Healey at the 23-yard line after that reception the first floor the sponge today but it gives the michigan state a first down inside the 24th Michigan that is going to be the final play of the first half as the clock has expired and the slot halftime the Spartan fans wore Michigan State 60 Michigan 3 you can fly down flipping I believe a call against Michigan and now there's another flag down and it could be that this is going to be on the Michigan coaching first the 15 yards for clipping second another 15 yards tacked down for unsportsmanlike conduct to juggle up the offense a little bit more for the Spartans this time a handoff is given too high just right up the middle he goes when he plows forward to the 46 yard line to Michigan for Michigan State second down and nine yards to go inside handoff goes to form a big hole 4235 he's knocked down at the 30 yard line lead again the counter goes to height 50 plates free at the 20 to the 15 follows down to the 11 yard line Don Highsmith third down and three as Triplett gives to Highsmith again and he finds a hole over the middle and he's into the end zone touchdown Michigan State Don I Smith has scored his second touchdown of the afternoon his sixth of the season and the Spartans have a commanding 22 to 3 lead over Michigan Gary Boyce is into the lineup for the Spartan to attempt the extra point as Boyce is ready for his third attempt of the afternoon it's up it's good and as the team to come back up the field the score Michigan State 23 Michigan 360 yard drive by the Spartans and nine plays iseman going off his own left side for four yards and puts the Spartans on top by 20 Michigan second and 14 from the Spartan 42 yard line paula is back to pass he's going to be trapped and he's hit full on backed up the 49 of Michigan that's right third down and go Moorhead on the option switches back to Doughty around the left side he gone he's got the wall can he get in no he's forced out at about the half yard line dowdy forced out right at the flies arrow Phillips tipped the yeoman duty that time for Michigan State as he got over there to pump dowdy out allowed as they spotted at the half a fourth and goal Moorhead lines them up puts his head down and dies forward will be in there the Michigan offense that's the goal line John Moorhead trying to sneak it over couldn't do it and a defense grabbing each other now and off the ball of that pile big number 94 wrong girl and he's doing a few jumpin Jackson he comes off the field as well he might as the rest of this defensive were tuned for basic estate with a fantastic ever here this afternoon stopping Michigan at the half yard line for head fakes the draw back to pass fires it upfield it's caught by Mandich at the 43 yard line but it's not going to be enough for a first down it's not going to be enough for a first down and the Spartan offense will take over at their own 43 yard line still has Highsmith and Kermit Smith behind me and puros simply falls on the football at the 43 and that could be the final play of the ball game I three two one that's it the one Michigan State has defeated Michigan 23 eight as well
