1991: Michigan 45 MSU 28

well Michigan will kick off to start this ball game Courtney Hawkins Mill Coleman back deep and there is Hawkins they've only kicked off over eight times this year and you see the reason why 37 and a half yards leads the nation and here is the booth and they're kicking it away from Hawkins so his stateless that was pretty good field position good 35 yard line here's the changeup already three wide receivers only one back in the bathtub little bit different for Michigan State right away trying to hit Courtney Hawkins incomplete in his second down ten yards to go maybe back to the line of scrimmage and there he is number 97 Chris Hutchinson and Gary you love this guy one of the great football players in college football a little bit undersized but Michigan's defensive line / Hutchinson right there he's so quick reminds the people here in Michigan of their great all-american Mark Messier of the bag fester up the bass and Hutchinson is the type of football player that's going to make a lot of tackles in the back they must account for oxygen he didn't play in last year's game because of the bad back maybe 11 on third down blast it by Steve Morrison the inside linebacker getting help from poor win' Brown yeah that's Milk Coleman he's their phenom quarterback a redshirt freshman it was coming across and Corey Brown Michigan sitting in that deep zone just made him forced to throw underneath and came up made the big hit good defense by Michigan that time near the 34-yard line strong safety making the stock Gary Moeller you guys are up starting quickly it's like they're still gonna be a measurement in there a bit of a piling on the Big Ten's Offensive Player of the Week he wears number 30 and look with the screen they get into Johnson and he'll go down the left sideline and a couple of would-be tacklers and then lose the ball Ricky powers back in for Jesse Johnson and power goes in motion play action by and he goes together man who makes the catch has the first down and is out of bounds near the 30-yard line a gain of 12 on the play Michigan with the football on the Michigan State 26 yard line second down seven you know one thing you talked about Gary it with this zone you really can't put two guys on that fella well that's really the mismatch that Michigan State has they don't have anybody in their secondary that they feel confident enough that they can match up and take away the easy easy throws from Elvis perfect to Desmond Howard that's as good as you can run a sweep they got their best player in with the ball in their hands outside of the defense that he's running in space formation is causing in the speed is causing the definitely the man the man here he's bore for for passion for Howard again makes the catch out of bounds inside the ten-yard line as he works on Allen hallory Michigan needs three in the touchdown his 11 score this year so tough to stop Michigan State comes into this game and know that Michigan can run the ball right at them down their throats you don't have the speed right now perfect noses man the man Grbac comes back throws at the little slant bass Brian wait its feet inside when you've got man-to-man coverage hey it's very tough you got a guy that's better than you he's faster than you're right there you need a little bit of help down there if you're willing to throw you get the easy cuts down so they make the extra point and Michigan on their first possession drive somebody a yard for the score Kansas City royal Kirk Gibson there was a wide receiver here with the spark jacket trying to skip outside of Michigan's defense right there Tim Brando what do you have for us but Notre Dame's was very comfortable talked about it I think quicker again fans are a little bit upset Michigan State has gone on balance line another new wrinkle that we're trying to use in this game the outside Miller stepped up pitches and he would have had the first down but the nickel man David Ritter was there and David Ritter the senior was week milk Coleman is a good throw then he put it right on Coleman Walter Smith the middle he's out past the 40-yard line the game tonight in a prime-time bundle more as he's past midfield or Perry knows the advantage again Ricky powers running in space Chico Duquette runs the same place I've got nowhere to go big title the middle for another Michigan first down and that's Dave Diebold Felicia but their covers apply and looks like full of crab Samantha came across right here there you see the call that called holding Eber was known automatic first down Howard goes out and they'll also bring in Tyrone Wheatley at the running back position so this is the third tailback they've got two and they give it to him is to the 12 Desmond Howard get man-to-man coverage here on the outside you know Steve you sit up here you're floating yards away it's like you're playing with little chessmen right here every time Desmond has man-to-man coverage this time he's got it you loop the ball and this guy just continues to make these unbelievable catches one right after another that has to be about the fifth diving catch I've seen you make for a touchdown miss you already that's as good as you can play wide receiver right there in a excellent throw by Kerr back we are seeing the leading candidate for the Heisman Trophy this year Michigan roll like this afternoon 14-nothing lead over their arch-rivals here's the last play when I said it was man-to-man coverage here's 10 people over here for the defense here's Desmond Howard over here one-on-one you audible the fade to him and you've got a touchdown boom easy throw out to the outside lay it to the outside of the field nobody has a chance of a very safe throw and it's been working all week working all year long they took it 71 yards first possession they go 67 yards in seven plays and it's like a computer printout and do exactly what they want to do the number five team in the nation Michigan Wolverines with a 14-nothing lead an excellent field position at their own 35-yard line Michigan comes out to write in this time that's an hour Masha's is way forward for about five to a first down I think he has it near the 42 yard line snakes and acrobatic dancing complete oh my god he chipped it up and he came close it must've got every picked up again this time Aaron Jackson now you would add a touchdown but you had another 10 yards well the guy chasing it was Desmond Howard I don't think putting on too far you've got a flag down near midfield ID saying this is just right here norm Parker told us one of the key mistakes that was made early in the year as they rough the punter for Central Michigan they finally get a stop right here they rough the punter and Michigan is going to get the ball after great defense and stopping the trial see if they go for the home run a first down play-action they work the Van Dyne he makes the catch inside the ten yard line he'll be and dying on it just them this is like how you draw plays if you're a coach right here you get somebody to the outside Desmond Howard is going to come deep on the post Yale Van Dyne is going to come down right underneath it you just read the linebackers with the play action and hold the linebackers and you just throw in between the zones right here so the wide receiver coming across Paul was throwing all the receivers like a low pass over the middle now Haller making the touchdown saving tackle pouch third and goal from the line powers in the backfield Deebo again a look at the lake that time John McNeil the defensive in and had the coverage right here on the tight end he's going to have to play a man-to-man they faked in the air come out on the bootleg comes out and you've got an easy touchdown by picking up the middle watch for one second it's just just pitch pitch to the outside for a 21 mm well 20 the way they've been kick an extra point this year nobody knows is right underneath the coverage magma short game inside the 25-yard line 26 seconds now 25 as they finally call the time 25 seconds remain before half-time first down 20 seconds remain feedback he is his man again the falling out of bounds system with 15 seconds left the game to the right side Courtley Hawkins first time they took the football near the 35-yard line and again it'll be second down and short the 40-yard line where he falls out like air injection Ernest Seward's in there again number 98 he's in the defensive back to the 35 ooh if there's one deep difference between this Michigan State defense that evolved insolia Miller wins in the past I think is their tackling in their secondary they are making too many miss tackles right here they got powers right there wrap them up and make the tackle Eric white mrs. wedding now he runs through another tackle right here in the secondary and Ricky powers makes a play that should gain four or five yards into it you know 20 25 yards running play 22 33 yards on that play he now has 123 in the game just finishing his way forward and close to another first act as 56 play of this Drive at the first five of it run 17 yards for the scene or just gossip 2077 had begun there it is you're running a field you're the free safety right here Johnson's gonna split the crack well I'll tell you that nice cutback run right there he's into the secondary and behind he gets in the end zone before he even gets touch on the play Steve Everett the center did a great job of pushing his band past the hole and Johnson cuts back to get the big game they have the man again questioned the backup tight-end the company great Carthoris Steve Michigan did not get their players in there on time that time and they got the ball tool the 36 yard line after a gain of near 15 yards to catch the first down to bring down let's go back to it one more time is 100 and he has another Michigan first down Quarry Keys making the tackle right nine yards and the second touchdown today for Jesse Johnson I'll tell you Bernie looking right here comes this way it comes across kicks out that defensive end Bernie Leggett right there is company come hug the King out gonna start this way Johnson's gonna cut back right up here for the big touchdown it's a counter play from the backfield but get comes across the kick-out they run behind his critics block on the back side that was Elliott's block on the backside and Chuck should get him flashing into the end zone for the big lead up to what 35 points it goes there giving it to Michigan they say the Wolverines had control before it went out of bounds they're coming right here let's see if he's forward progress stop I'll catch the ball he stopped right there he continues the RocketBallz up a little bit one more hit and it gets ripped you see we're right there rip the ball out we decided not to turn it covers right there people come see to make you wonder Wheatly that about 15 he can't hold on he was wide open how I was beaten badly Halle was beat back the pallor slipped on the play watch him come little Juke II think he's going to the outside power vault down I'll tell you what this is one of those throws that's the first diving catch I haven't even made this year and I know Elvis Grbac is except with himself not delivering that one he had all day to throw it broke it on the picture and he's just too tough to cover man-to-man allergy slip down the plane out of the shirt touching elbow John 26-yard field goal attempt is through and michigan has pushed illegal to started 814 their archrival the Michigan State Spartan amber Mark Elliott 26 yard in 1448 to play let's check in with Tim Brando they'll try wheelie this time and would play skips by shuffling gets to the 30-yard line it'll be third down and two to play to the 15 but touchdown saving tackle so simple it's like a long handgun they run this play a few times they throw it out Noah he gets to the ball the old fan giant is gonna come down and get the block this is like a sweep he's outside everybody if he doesn't get grabbed by the shirt if he had a very Sanders my shirt on right now where they tuck it in and put a little silicone on it he's gone right you know we talked about Todd Collins into the game backup redshirt freshman the Massachusetts Jerri feels comfortable now that Rob the 50-yard line husband somebody first down there you see Grbac be able to sit back desmond howard was her high school teammates right now Joe Cleveland st. Joe teammate basketball players did the whole thing Allison perfect ass Tim Brando what's going on really ice ten and home Walter Smith is run out of bounds inside the 10-yard line and boy they flattened a couple of fans I mean they were getting pretty deep on that sideline a little bit of a tick pass right here Malvo number 84 is going to come inside and kick off the guy for Walter Smith to come out and catch the ball to the outside now let's see what happens to Bell right here drive them out throws them down into the chairs now that in the fine lines of the of the rule the funny I'm 12 they've done run off and now they got their goal line often something the football and Michigan State will recover in the end zone while Hammonds backup linebacker and Tyrone was about two inches away from his first career touchdown together get last year's Heisman Trophy winner heated up side Kepler for BYU you see the score with the Wolverines leading Jim pillar still in at quarterback and they sent Hawkins in motion dingo knows man was really hustling on the play Tony Henderson got a lot of the backups in their second unit on defense for Michigan they're all fresh they got fresh legs they're in there running and doing something to get the big sack for Kowski gets the sack of that one he was in the backfield was knocked down side to 5-yard line 32 yard interception return by an echo back David Ritter there you see Miller right there limping a little bit sir jujin ball over the middle bitters in a deep zone he's trying to hit the crossing out coming across here he's trying to stick it in Miller falls down but he was actually trying to hit the crossing route Cortney Hawkins coming in he led him a little bit too much you know what Miller showed me a little bit right here you can take the easy throw in that situation to get the completion there he is coming across for the big hit you know what he's playing to win this football game throwing it down Collin sweetly she began first career touchdown yes indeed true freshman from Dearborn Heights he was happy to see that intersection be able to get a chance to redeem himself on that fumble that he had on the play where he was into the endzone just a couple of minutes ago so we'd be able to stick it in the endzone for the Wolverines just a simple top right here Collins to Wheatley got the full-back in front of them he's got the guard coming out in his plows into the end zone for six more Michigan 45 in Michigan State 14 Jim Miller has had a courageous game with his new trail it's been a disappointing season for the MSU Spartans to this point but no one in this stadium is as disappointed as local DJ Jim Parker Jim's up on a billboard in Lansing right now and he's not coming down until the Spartans win a game maybe you got another chance next week Jim but for now looks like rain see even Gary back upstairs to you up on the Billboard he's got the Spartan flag I'd tell you this isn't being out of billboard down into Texas for Florida you know in Michigan it's going to get cold here in the next couple weeks the small five yard line he cuts up near the free inside four minutes to play here in East Lansing and the Spartans find Danny gonna gain a little more respect Hazen and the Spartans but for the onside kick and then they have it yes they do and Miller this games once happened for 36 Lyons goes down inside the 15-yard line with a different defensive alignment for Michigan the great rivalries in college football Wolverine right football team makes it in Michigan will have that big win for Gary Moore its first ever against the system for Ian Desmond Howard help out to beat Michigan State 45:28
