[Music] [Applause] they play this game for those who went before them but today's contemporaries also write the next chapter in one of college football's most storied of confrontations for the 100 second time it's Michigan and Michigan State - the winner goes the Paul Bunyan trophy [Applause] and we welcome you to Spartan Stadium on an overcast 50 degree day with winds out of the Southwest at about 14 to 22 miles per hour Wayne Larrivee Chris Martin the third member of our team down to the sidelines Brent Stover Wayne a couple of teams for the dual quarterbacks at Michigan take for CA no doubt a recent weeks and a step forward to be the top guy Kurt cousins Keith Nichol still battling it out at Michigan State both have talked about it's very difficult when you're substituting in and out to get your timing and rhythm down well if one steps forward and beats Michigan for back-to-back years for the first time in 42 years I would think that would go along no question about it it won't be easy rich Rodriguez brings the 20th ranked Wolverines to town they are four no playing their first road game of the season and a look at coach D Antonio for Michigan State at his third season as head coach trying to get things turned around a one-in-three start [Applause] after an opening win on the campaign over Montana state losses to Central Michigan and shocking fashion then a tough loss to Notre Dame and the bottom fell out a little bit on them at Wisconsin the series history take a look at it sixty fourth consecutive meeting Wolverines lead overall in East Lansing Brent mentioned that you have to go back to the Johnson administration but the last time the Spartans beat the Wolverines two years in a row is going back and you have a desperate team desperate for a win but also a Michigan team desperate desperate to show that they are the real thing Brian Wright has it on the tee number forty-three for Michigan here's the kickoff we're underway great to have you with us this afternoon [Music] booming kick with the window is back through the end zone and it'll be a first down coming up for the Spartans keys to this football game mr. Martin what do you think well for Michigan when you're leading the confidence conference in rushing you got to get Brown involved early and I think they also have to win the turnover ratio for Michigan State just find a way to win I mean they've been in so many close battles they've lost they gotta find a way to get it done and then defensively particularly that secondary they cannot give up balls over their head quarterback his Kirk Cousins and he is set to go first down Winston is the long back they get motion from Linthicum a Titanic Winston right at the Michigan defense in the Wolverines equal to the task loss of one dimension the quarterback Kirk Cousins he's a sophomore out of Holland Michigan who ranks third in the big 10 37th nationally and past efficiency well Cousins is a young quarterback but his composition is almost that of a senior very smart cerebral quarterback understands the offense and a consummate leader Larry caper now in the backfield the long back slap to the bottom of your screen [Applause] Linthicum again in motion the tight end on second down not a lot there for the freshman caterer gets to after the 21 yard line now for the Rotel don't beat a starting lineup because you can't start your game day without their famous queso dip the backs and receivers paper we just saw him a moment ago Cunningham as a big play downfield waiting to happen and Blair White had a breakout game against Michigan a year ago the offensive line they finally have people where they need to be where they thought they'd have them in the preseason Joel Richman leads the way up front it is third down for Michigan State cousins with good protection initially that pass is tipped and intercepted Stevie Brown inside the 15-yard Mike Martin it appeared tip that pass [Applause] unable to cure it in well the pressure just collapses the pocket quickly good search up front watch him keep fighting able to get the wrist of cousins and Stevie Brown being johnny-on-the-spot and we talked about in the open the importance of winning the turnover ratio and inauspicious start for the Spartans so first down for Michigan and the Spartan defense which has been reeling in recent weeks put on the spot early pushed down Wolverine to the Spartan 14 yard line and you mentioned get brown involved early they did and the Spartans were ready for him led by Oren Wilson the nose tackle loss of one the quarterback is taped for CA the true freshman out of San Diego California but if you haven't seen him play he doesn't play like a true freshman his intangibles are off the charts second down they mark it as a loss of two horsey a keeps it himself he took going nowhere Trevor Anderson blew that playoff he held the edge and did not allow the quarterback to escape loss of for the Honda generators a red zone which is where the Wolverines begin their first drive this is what they've done on the season waning you notice on that last play that Anderson got up the field but he box and Tate Forcier and that's to put a fence around him keep them inside third down for Michigan third and 15 or CA in the complete we have to get rid of it in a hurry they blitzed the middle linebacker Greg Jones for CA through before the running back Brown in the flat turned to look and browns diagnosed clearly he must not see the Blitz and he's got to see that coming and turn around quickly for his quarterback for CA doing exactly as he's instructed you want to throw right into the Blitz Browns got to snap that head around sooner 36-yard field goal attempt for Jason ollas naväge two or three inside authority this season and it is good first points of the afternoon Michigan loses five yards after taking over at the Michigan State 14 the Spartans pulled the Wolverines through a field goal and it's three nothing Michigan in the early going Michigan - five yards at a four play drive but they lead three nothing the interception by Stevie Brown off the tip pass by Mike Martin rights kick off again good leverage and depth into this one it will not be returned Michigan opened impressively on defense as well as we mentioned with the forcing the turnover Rotel velveeta starting let up because you can't start your game day without their famous queso dip up front Martin got the tip ball that resulted in the interception Brendan Graham's at all big ten performer OBS a usually leads this team in tackles Mouton and Brown very active and to the secondary JT Floyd gets the start in front of Boubacar Sissoko they've had problems at that quarterback spot this season [Applause] first and 15 running yards are going to be hard to come by it appears today Winston got barely a yard big ten college football is brought to you in high definition by Phillips HD available at Target Walmart and Sam's Club [Applause] student section got the memo where your wife it's a packed house you wouldn't expect anything less second down [Applause] being yards to go once again no gain in that previous play apparently cousins off the play action looking downfield pressured by Van Bergen but omits a beautiful throw took use the tight end 18-yard gain to the 33 yard line at a first down Michigan State brown and Floyd on the tackle a beautiful throw by cousins we'll watch him hang in the pocket here just roll I said sit sit let the rout develop good job of having poised and present by cousins and letting his go to tight end get open and putting the ball on the numbers first first down to the ball game either way we are early first quarter in this chart again they'd really like this young man feel he's a complete tight end they've become a good receiver a tight end in motion Caperton nice hole and he slithers through across the 35 yard line to the 38 on a gain of almost 5 yards man Burgin makes the tackle in Michigan State that one of the cavities of this offense is running the football so they're trying to get these young backs greased up early in no what they face in Michigan defense they got to continue to stay with the plan pound the football and crisp last season Javon ringer carried the ball from scrimmage 390 times for Michigan State the player with the next most carries was 26 by Andre Anderson so they are remaking the down game there no doubt about that second down paper slips through again corollary k forget 6ob is a and a fired-up front line for a michigan state to pick up that blitz that greg robinson coach right there just through it the Spartans nice job to see in the blitz running to the opposite side in gash in Michigan for a first down as a did a good job of clipping his legs out from under him first down Michigan State [Applause] Marc devil the bottom of your screen cousins Oh with a beautiful throw between defenders to flair oh right Wilfork brings him down fluid was also there but all pinpoint pass from Kirk Cousins 16 yard gain first down well you got that right watch this corner out he's gonna sit right behind the corner and in front of the safety good job by cousins to put that ball right at the sticks look at this watch out of the ball goes right to the sticks Blair white leads the team with 23 receptions for TVs so you know he's a go-to guy here's a look at Blair white one last year he was a thorn in the side of the Wolverines had his best game ever saves his breakout game 61 yard touchdown reception he caught four passes for 143 yards against Michigan and I liked the mixture and balance between run and pass my offensive coordinator Don Treadwell Michigan State you got to keep Michigan off balance they have been susceptible to the run play up front defensively struggled at times on third downs so you have to continue to keep them off balance Michigan State doing a good job already Blair White a couple of receptions now and it's second down from Michigan State about seven yards to go at the Michigan 39 Winston Van Bergen was there along with Mike Martin gain of a yard or to the principal edge to this game Chris well if you look at the teams in the history it's who's won the running battle and that's why we've seen Michigan State make such a concerted effort to pound the football 36 of 39 I'm going with probability in the math you got to get an effective running game just over seven minutes to go and this the first quarter third down Michigan State everybody out for a pass mark del to the Wolverine 29 makes the tackle first down Michigan State Kirk Cousins has admitted that hey it's tough when you going in and out to get into a rhythm as a quarterback at a leader of a football team but that's the situation they're in right now now third down and six for Michigan State let's coming good release first down that's Cunningham down the sideline near the 10-yard line of Michigan Wilfork the safety forced it out first down for Michigan State and Wayne when you get a safety on a corner this is an unfair matchup right there that's what you want good job of creating the matchup problem by offense coordinator Treadwell safety on a corner Cunningham's too talented for Wolfe fourth one on one first down and goal to go for Michigan State bidding to take the lead Linthicum a tight end in motion this is Winston the power back and he's met right in the middle of the line Mike Martin came across I've got your pardon make that gram who came across to make the hit on the play Brandon Graham Honda generators red zone numbers for the Michigan State Spartans here they are 13 scores 15 trips 10 touchdowns it's good percentage down there sure a good percentage of touchdowns two possessions second down and 10 though Michigan has been stuck against those runs right at them so far and between the tackles exactly right the offensive backfield Gant the tight-end emotions second down a goal to go Mouton showing blitz for Michigan caper to the outside that's a block from Hawking but the backside pursuit for the Wolverines is there in a short gain of two yards down to the eight yard line makes for a third down and goal to go and if you're Michigan you're okay with letting that ball go laterally by the bass because you have a fast flowing defense and linebackers that can run to the ball so they're able to chase down the football once it gets out on the perimeter Michigan State facing third down they are two of three on third down conversions good protection cousin is now on his own the end zone inside the one then it looked like Stevie Brown got over the top of them and forced him back seven yard scamper decision time Michigan State and you think this kid wants to win or what not so adept at running the football but he has great feel and he's quick enough that he can hurt you watch it there's nothing there everything's blanketed but he has good feel you understands the Russia's comment the clock goes off and he's able to push it and when you get in games of this magnitude you put it all out there that's what Cousins is being so Clark writes Gantt the tight end tapered to the end zone touchdown [Applause] and do you think this crowd feels this game good blocking up front capers again getting stronger in strong there's a game unfold able to punch that in extra point try right down the boulevard by the all-america Brett's wetson 17 plays 80 yards go running back caper cats it for Michigan State Spartans just scored to take the lead off a ten minute drive Chris and it starts with a steel block we're gonna see it right here on Mouton he's responsible for this play but we'll watch the full-back come and get a great combo block to seal him off and punch this thing in the end zone the into Hawken michigan state nice lead block and when you saw Hawking in there you knew caper was gonna follow him if he had the ball it'd be smart absolutely the Spartans on that long drive 17 plays 80 yards Chris over came to post play fouls that wiped out first downs here's the kickoff Stoneham allows it to hit and here he comes to the 20 across the 25 yard line start of the second quarter coming up when we return to Spartan Stadium Michigan State by 4 along with Chris Martin and Brent Stover Wayne Larrivee welcome back to Spartan Stadium in East Lansing Michigan Wayne Larrivee Chris Martin Brent Stover Kirk Cousins the quarterback for Michigan State went to the locker room a moment ago we'll check on his status meanwhile take four see ya it's broken up nicely by Trenton Robinson the safety stepping in front of the Michigan receiver and if you're in a Michigan State secondary and you've been beleaguered and victimized you want to get teams to stop throwing at you you make plays like this great close to the ball gets his long arm in and breaks it up and just a minute ago as I mentioned Kirk Cousins heading to the locker room second and 10 Michigan for CAS got his being this time it's juggled and Rock Kelvin Grady could not hang on to it and it results at a third and 10 coming up he had Robinson in pursuit and took a shot for good measure anyway and that's just the ball he has to catch flat out he's right there to sticks starts to look up field this is it real time that Fred Baker our camera guy on the sideline got involved in the play he's tough I don't know if he has any eligibility left Oh Chris third down and ten poor CA good protection initially on the run and a sensational comeback catch made by hugger cut tight end Kevin covering water flow but for CA [Applause] pass play and Michigan is out of the hole what a throw by force it is exactly right watch him get flushed out way to throw the ball on the move but if you're Michigan State how do you let this receiver get behind you keep everything in front cannot give up first first down for Michigan and Denard Robinson in at quarterback [Applause] [Music] Michigan State told us that when Robinson comes on 80% of the time Michigan runs and then Vaughn Patton rddr Tuesday I'm playing to that tendency expect run when he comes to the game make him throw it and prove you wrong 4ca back in for the first time today rain begins to fall here at Spartan Stadium Michigan on the drive first down to the 41 yard line of Michigan State Hemmingway in the slot top of your screen stumbling out of the backfield and getting nothing second down and nine coming up for Michigan well you know defense can get off the bust and I've got a feeling you're right and it sounds like Perdue is dominating time of possession of that game it's the best defense against the northwestern offense short of the first down the reception made by Darrel Stoneham and it will leave a third down in a long - coming up Chris el Rucker the coverage in the tackle and the way Michigan spaces you out on the field as we can see it here you have to play well in space and you have to tackle well Michigan playing at a quicker tempo now and a low throw in a catch by for a first down here the 29 yard line I'm sure they'll take a look at it upstairs look like a catch poor yard gain to a first down Michigan will play at different paces of tempo and that's how much time they snap the football they want to snap in this case going fast with a little more than 20 minutes 20 seconds to go on the play clock for CA off the pig and a great play made by Trevor Anderson who Madden our doozie mentioned to us he's the leader as 5th year senior transfer from Cincinnati they mentioned that he had to play better and he is here today he is a factor in this game today he sure as and when he rushes off the edge he's coming up the field but he's keeping 4ca inside which is huge not in our doozie the defensive coordinator of his partners they said a robot good pitch and catch Odom's has another first down inside the Spartan 20-yard line 11 yard gain Robinson the coverage on the near side as Michigan begins to get into a rhythm with this quicker offensive pace yeah and you know we talked to we talked to rich Rodriguez about forcier and he said he reminded him of when he had Shaun King and Tulane their mobile quarterbacks that they throw very well on the collision to the backfield murder going nowhere they had a quarterback in two facts Carlos Brown collided with Brandon miner and David Rolfe made the tackle behind the line of scrimmage loss of five Honda generators a red zone today the Wolverines won 4-1 a field goal but that was on a drive their first rival which they lost five yards followed by the interception and the subsequent return by Stevie Brown in the first quarter and remember Michigan's offense is predicated on misdirection and deception they like to move from things around particular with their backs now it's second and nine at the Michigan State 17 for the Wolverines [Applause] big gap up the middle Brent Jones makes the hit did you let the 11-yard line a gain of six yards you know you got to get Brown involved in the game early and watch out they they just do that a little wraparound play he's gonna find a hit the crease Smith a bit low picked up by 4ca and this is going to be grounding yep Eric Gordon on the rush they blitz the outside linebacker good call upstairs I mentioned early today Chris must minute for Eric's Nance a week ago and a nice job by Gordon finding the the gap shoot in the correct gap enforcing for CA to get rid of the football last week in a situation similar that for CA threw it up for grabs and was intercepted that time it wasn't but he was called for grounding it's a loss of down penalty but line of scrimmage is back at the 25-yard line and now Michigan has a long field goal attempt coming up a 42 yarder by Jason Ola snobbish love with Michigan State's doing putting pressure on for CA the stoppage kicked to the uprights and it is good Michigan able to cash the Wolverines back to within one with 443 to go first half off and on rain today raining at the moment 50 degrees here in East Lansing previous to the field goal the intention of grounding and foresee a partner what did you see I'm back to shoot the a gap right next to the center and force force da to get rid of the ball he's still in between the tackles so that's an easy call for the rat and the other thing Chris you didn't get the ball to the line of scrimmage that's the other factor in that one play right Michigan settles for a long field wall by Jason oldest non-pitcher 42 yarder camping at 15 plays 67 yard drive [Applause] and this one bounces in front of Winston slips a defender to the 20 to the 30 to the 3540 and out of bounds near the 45 yard line Winston forced out of bounds 37 yards downfield now this is a 225 pound guy watch the second gear though once he hits it finds the crease and he runs like he's 185 pounds first and 10 from the 45 for Michigan State their best field position to started driving their drives have begun deep in their own territory for the most part today Boulton ray is the tailback the faked array and it comes to sunlight in the Michigan territory stepped out of bounds 43 yard line first down for Michigan State to the sidelines Brent Stover with a special guest print yet tom is so earlier this afternoon he and his basketball team in the Michigan State Spartans getting their Big Ten championship rings and they look awfully good coach you never get tired of that huh now you really don't you don't get their to football season either the atmosphere is incredible it's gonna say you're having as much fun as anybody out here in the rain I would say I'd be a student today me to coach basketball practice starts in a couple of weeks so I juice to you for that football season is still here I want to do two things [Laughter] national title game well we got a lot of work I think the Big Ten in general isn't the best the conference has been since 2000 your thoughts on the Spartan football team so far in the first half you know I love the first tab you know it got one drive we started touch so I must had 150 yards of total offense but Marc Dantonio has done a great job with us we've had a little bit of bumps and bruises on the way or a young quarterback and young running backs but I love the direction of our program coach thanks a lot for the time thank you it's Tom Izzo daddy Thank You Brent he just sounds like a coach Danny hundred and some yards on its employment it comes white inside the 35 yard line 10 yard gain woofle got him down Michigan State and done a pretty good job of driving the football today I hope he's taped up that difficult event aback right there because that was a great move by Blair white in the open field Jer to Floyd who were placed Sissoko in the lineup for Michigan at quarterback today and quarterback is Keith nickel you saw earlier her cousins go to the locker room not much there straight ahead dive and it'll be a second down Winston back to the line of scrimmage and that was about it Brandon Graham the outstanding defensive end made the hip you know last year I thought Aaron Maybin had the most explosive first step off the ball this year it may go to Brandon Graham I mean his first step is so sudden that he's able to close and get two backs in the backfield I'm a maze dat place he shows up in that are wide to the sidelines constantly he's there almost like a linebacker second and ten nickel sailed that one over del will tell Velveeta combination to the game because you can't win without the perfect partner cousins in nickel at Wisconsin how about this 396 passing yards second in school history nickel that last blows an unguided missile as we see cousins coming back into the game third down in 10 we go back for a third of test if that's it thanks coach Michigan State four of seven up third down conversions they've been very good cousins decisive tear I've got a first down Michigan 16 yard line wolf are forced them out will you go with the quarterback that has the hot hand in who's and rhythm watch this corner out good content here honey am able to sit down in between the corner to safety you think this gets at quarterback fired up we talked to him yesterday not taste something he is again you know we said this about take for CA when we were at Michigan a couple of weeks ago these young quarterbacks my goodness they have they have poise beyond their years when you think about their mission ready they when they the way they just handle members of the media and that type of thing first down for Michigan toss Winston downhill to the 15 to 10 yard line Kovacs was there Donovan Warren from the secondary and also with on that tackle Brandon Herron that is a very well designed play student sections in a whiteout as you can see in the Honda generators red zone Michigan State won 4-1 today with a touchdown they were 10 touchdowns and 15 trips coming into the game nickel back you to quarterback SiC him down for Michigan State nickel on the run gets a block from cart Carter our keeper rather and plus to the first down is nickel near the seven yard line Jonas Bhutan made the hip design draw play that time to use the legs of nickel his cousins come back into the game and again Don Treadwell trying to keep Michigan off-balance to slow them down cousin's back in as you can see here's the total yardage in the game Michigan State has dominated white in motion Winston stip I'm Stevie Brown who will not let go what a tackle made by brown one-on-one and he dumps the big running back for a loss of one fourth down Michigan State in Winston you did he was it if you were able to beat Brown here he takes this to the house but this is a great play one-on-one with a big downhill back Stevi Brown in space excellent play [Applause] Michigan State is called another timeout but they have one remaining and they're winding it down to the final seconds of the half before they attempt this field goal Brent Swenson will try a 26-yard field goal to end the first half the Spartans as you saw a moment ago on the graphic have dominated this game in many respects they're gonna make it officially a 25-yard field goal attempt Swenson six of seven is only missed this year from 51 yards and he's got this one of the uprights it is good as the first half comes to a close Michigan State tin glaze 47 yards to four minutes and 43 seconds camped by this 25 yard field goal off the toe of Brett Swenson Buffalo Wild Wings halftime report coming up back at the studio when we come back Michigan State at halftime owns a 10-6 lead over Michigan first half possessions for the Spartans that interception cost them three but then that 17 play 80-yard Drive they overcame two hosts play fouls to score on that drive we mentioned it at the top of the program this is a must-win every year both ways but more so this year for Michigan State in terms of their three-game losing streak trying to salvage their season Brent Stover is with us on the sidelines today and Brent you had a chance to talk with both coaches at halftime what do they have to say well Mark Dantonio is very pleased especially with the long drives in the long time of possession he's obviously happy to be in the lead McCann the converse side and coach Rich Rodriguez told me we have to get off the field on third down and quite obviously we have to get their offense somehow some way off the football field no question about it Michigan State five of nine and third down conversions while the coaches you see the close ups up both coaches you say to yourself these guys had a long week and you know what what's hidden in that two is the conversions by Michigan State they're not third one third and two they've been converting some long situations what you would think would be unmanageable to Michigan will receive the kick to begin the second half great to have you with us for Michigan and Michigan State and a good strong kick off and Stoneham is told to stay there with it by kelvin grady he said that there this team will be defined by the way they come through this adversity take 4c a talk about adversity my goodness jerel worthy gets him to the ground lost sub 7 talking about adversity and talking about coming through big fella fight and getting to the ball and this michigan state defense is creating pressure than manufacturing it's the big guys up front no need for blitz package when you get that type of effort I think Tate was going down before to hug out there but he'll get credit for the sack and take it so why not he's flash taller Michigan playing in the up tempo now snapping the ball quickly Brown once again going to the boundary side of the field and picking up a couple more yards leaving a third and short jerel worthy makes the tackle number 99 in your picture Carlos Brown while we've seen him knock out what a 90-yard run at Michigan against Eastern Michigan earlier no question he's a home run hitter from any spot of the field he goes out for the moment third and short Michigan with coger in it tight end branded minor alongside of for CA on the shotgun Stoneham and Odom's at the bottom of your screen Hemingway at the top foresee a pizza and gets the first down not by a lot but he appeared to get that first down convergence of green clad defenders led by jerel worthy Greg Jones was also there inches short are the Wolverines now 17-yard line michigan's encrypted spark there was a little hesitation and now they send the punting unit on and send me the right call to take supple me mine state gonna have good field position now let's see what they do they've got a couple of up backs zoltan let's go and hunt for mation nesco wants to run it and he's going to come up short oh my goodness and it looked like it looked like a Coldplay partner and it looked like a play that Michigan needs to rip out of the playbook if you're gonna try trickeration don't you the punter who's already eight yards back and not very skilled in running the football Hey Oh two to go in the third Michigan State leading by four and Michigan gives it up to the Spartans at the 13 yard line of the Wolverine again you have a fun of not used to running not used to finding the one Lane you could tell he hesitated I wonder the three I wonder if he made that call on his own I don't know why he would have I don't know what he would have seen that would have told him he could make that first down but sometimes the punter has the option I can't imagine he had the option in that case and straight up the middle that's Winston blasting inside the 10 to the 8 yard line this is a Rich Rodriguez on the fake punt and his reaction boy I gotta figure he did not approve that call yeah I don't think it was his deal he's looking for the special teams it looked to me like Mexico never hesitated right he was going all the way they looked called second down Winston the tail of the tandem cousins at quarterback Winston big head up the middle inside the five close to the first down near the three is a makes the tackle Polaris hardest working player of the game so far that's his 12th tackle these sudden changes create a lot of momentum especially when you're here in a game like this it's a four-point ball game it's a toss-up type game he's just looking Glenna Winston is running today yards have been hard to come by on the ground Winston again Michigan back outside the five it's fourth down and folks if you want to see a quick first step how about that for burst that is unbelievable [Music] you look up burst and suddenness in the dictionary you're gonna find double nickel Brandon Graham Brett Swenson for a field goal try [Applause] deep 3rt little tint Swensons kick right down the boulevard Michigan State started in the redzone of Michigan for a second time today but both times when they start up there they've only gotten three you know earlier in the game Michigan got their first possession inside Michigan State's red zone off a turnover and could only convert for three points it just happened for Michigan State they got a turnover basically on that fourth down a ill-fated fake field goal got the football at the 13 and could only settle for a field goal and so each side has had their shots inside the 20 but the defenses have been more than equal to the task that was certainly a win picked off by Swenson with the window his back Stoneham to the tender the 1520 penalty marker down michigan state says they've got and now the officials say it's Michigan ball they trail by 7 horsey a screen pass [Applause] take it out of bounds by Trenton Robinson who's played very well from the safety position Brendan Denson was also there gain of five well I don't think a lot of observers get about Michigan State's defense as they do play well against the run and they've been able to force teams into passing situations where they haven't played well but they're playing better today second down [Applause] quick throw to the sideline good enough for first down Odom's on the reception but there is laundry on the field outside by the defense number 91 penalty is declined first down so some jumping into the neutral zone by Michigan State take a look at the Wolverines situation today - five rushing yards today that came in best in the bid ten running the football pointed out at the top of the show defense they have run stuffers though first and ten Brendan miner [Applause] across the 25 near the 27 yard line Eric Gordon Trevor Anderson in pursuit for Michigan State as Michigan State's defense is not allowed any explosive place 20 big runs are Popoff passes and that's been key as well Michigan's longest run of the first half was 7 yards by both 6 yards but Carlos Brown 9 yards by tank for CA 6 by brown as a running back in 9 by 4 CA on a scramble second down foresee a trip down what a play they're made by Kevin Benkelman the sophomore out of Marshall Michigan we've been banged up this fall but look at him respond here and look at him betta one on one block this is just mono e mono guys are winning their one one match up and talking to Patton our duty defensive coordinator Michigan State he said that's exactly what we have to do because Michigan forces the spaces third down off the loss of for third and 12 they are three of eight on third down conversions 4cn chased by anderson diving finger death threat made by Hemingway the spartans say no good the officials are marking the football and they're about a yard short of the first down anderson provided that pass rush pressure the 11 yard gain hard to see if he trapped it or not they're pretty tight coverage by rucker to drive on the ball it is fourth down and they've sent the punting unit on in Michigan State getting off the field on third down [Applause] I don't think Mexico is gonna be running this 1/4 and one fair catch signal made Martin makes the catch just short of the 30-yard line of Michigan State 3:17 to go in the third a Spartan offense when we come back since 1953 the winner of this game between Michigan state of Michigan's being presented by the Paul Bunyan trophy for foot wooden statue though looks much bigger than that there in the locker room doesn't it was donated by then-governor g-men and Williams to mark Michigan State's acceptance into the big 10 and since 53 Michigan leads this series 34:20 and 2 so if they tie what happens good question send it back to the Statehouse right Nicoll in the ball game little town of tumbling cats across the midfield marker to the Michigan 48th guards line 22 yard pickup good job and nickel hanging in the pocket allowing Linthicum to get open and a great adjustment by tight end to locate the full football watch the body control big cats completion move the chains lincecum came in with seven receptions 87 yards at a

Gant down to the Michigan 27 yard line 19 yard completion Kovacs makes the tackle Gant loves to work the middle of field that time he does a nice job of not sitting down continuing to run and separate from Kovacs and providing a big target he has good speed but a nice catch and radius for his quarterback first down at the 27 yard line of the Michigan Wolverines Michigan State we're going to put some distance between themselves and the Wolverines under two minutes to go in the third Nicoll under pressure almost immediately [Applause] Nikhil able to pick up yardage as he gets around the ending manager force a quarterback to scramble for six yards second down coming up Brett stover standing by with a couple of special guests well you guys saw the play moment ago in the flashback 2001 TJ start with you what do you remember about that touchdown at the end I just I remember how hard we worked got the whole week and I'll definitely put in throughout the whole game we'll come down to that play and you know you got to make it and we're of course net Bo and make that play and celebrate the victory Jeff funny how one play can really go a long way in defining a career huh yeah definitely that was a great play for me it was a great win for the Spartans and viable partner Graham in good shape right now they say they are these guys fire it up they're playing hard and you know they do something just keep plugging away and I thought that matter you guys got some time in the NFL any football for either you left or are you gonna hang it up well we're gonna see about that hopefully but you know you never know we'll see yeah I'm right now just enjoying the Spartans game and these guys Jeff smoker TJ Tucker thanks a lot for the tongue caster Wayne it's so interesting seeing those guys cuz talking to Greg Jones of Michigan State he said this game is all about the past and present players in TJ deck whining to her clothes third-down Wanda caper first down down to the 16 yard line of Michigan and Michigan State will take a seven-point lead into the fourth quarter there changing sides here at East Lansing we'll be back start of the fourth quarter first in 10 16 yard line of Michigan for the Spartans of Michigan State nickel over the top end zone and it's incomplete it appeared blow was right there to knock it away and Nicko was going with that read all the way he want to get in the back of the end zone the road does a nice job of playing this ball and he sees the arms go up a good job of coming down with a chop in reading the keys watch this when you're in a trail position to play the key watch the arms go up you got to put them up to catch the ball nice job of playing through the football you watch the receivers eyes the eyes get big and obvious key three receivers top of your screen they're running the other way Glenn Winston to the end 15 yard touchdown run Glenna Winston and Michigan State extends to a 19-6 advantage in to me this one typifies Michigan State's attitude today to not be denied and to find a way to get to them Brett's wincing his only extra point miss was at Notre Dame a few weeks ago puts this one through the uprights and Michigan State roars into a 14-point lead land up Winston gets a big block here and accelerate to the end zone talk about a couple of fish out of water that's the commercial we want to get away a couple of Michigan fans in a sea of white plaid a student's Michigan State take a look at that touchdown run by Glenn Winston well Wayne here's the forest player right here Donovan Warren he has to force that ball back inside we're gonna see must even get a great kick out block right there that's gonna spring this action and again allow the ball to get outside and get to the end zone kickoff is short and across the 15-yard line here comes Stoneham to the 2530 and he's out of bounds near the Michigan 33 yard line still first down 46 yard line of Michigan State for the Wolverines tape 4ca back in at quarterback steps up he's got his man over the middle junior and Hemingway stormed back just short of the first down and Flagg perhaps for a late hit [Applause] when you see that many go to the football dead ball personal foul [Applause] so in rutte the safety guilty of it here it is [Applause] wow that's live-ball and receiver whose knee clearly did not touch the ground and Dantonio not happy with that call at all this is regular speed [Applause] he's still up and fighting for yard I agree with you partner I'm with you but its first down Michigan 22 yard line of Michigan State to the Wolverines get back into this game for C a sternum change of direction close to the 10 yard line and Michigan State's Greg Jones has it Eric Gordon on a hit this is a Michigan State defense this only forced three turnovers all season coming into this game that's lasting the Big Ten 116th in the nation clinical turnover good job of Gordon stripping the ball out by Gordon Greg Jones knows what to do with it watch him consciously going there and rip the ball out heads up play way to bend the knees bye gentlemen scoop it up Michigan's first turnover today may have cost him their opportunity to get back into the game now that Wisconsin gave him pretty much beaten there but that's it nothing on the ground as Martin responds from Michigan Kovacs coming in from the secondary and the ever-present OB is a loss of three on that play both these defenses it seems to me live came to play Chris just watching how they handle themselves Michigan State's had a little bit more on the ground mostly because their quarterbacks been scrambling effectively second down doesn't [Applause] [Music] [Applause] again not forcing the ball he understands the coverage is there take what the defense is giving you a lot of green to run find the sticks get there now watch this be smart about it don't take the contact get out of bounds goat Rodriguez oh my you said wait a minute that's not the running quarterback is that's the passing 7/8 but what are they doing here seven is supposed to do that not a and it says he says it's up to me to put my best foot forward Winston just another dive off the right side this time of the offensive line for a gain of two Jonas Mouton made the hip we're under seven minutes to go for the game Michigan State's lead is 14 Michigan State will be in you're not gonna be in a hurry to snap the football they're gonna wind it down as much as they can Michigan does have two timeouts remaining Michigan State has had three explosion plays here today explosion being a play of 20 yards or more second down Hawken in it pullback he was shaken up earlier in the game in motion that's window dressing for Winston running straight at the defense for gain of a yard State Farm will wrap up coming up after we're done here scores highlights analysis of today's games Dave coach DiNardo and Howard will be along to give you all the analysis you need quite a trio that but you know we get a chance at this Michigan team to really go under the hood and look to see how some of the younger players were going to respond in an environment like this like a take force yet folks this is their first road game Michigan's first road game of the season state is seven of 15 on third downs [Applause] out of bounds short of the first down there [Applause] Cunningham on the reception Michigan schedule gets a little bit tougher now they're on the road again next week this time at number 17 Iowa Iowa has a non-conference game today against Arkansas State in Iowa what a performance by the hawkeye's in that fourth quarter half Penn State the other night they they sent a message in that fourth quarter they did and they showed you that they may be the most disruptive defense in the conference five minutes to go Michigan State on the lead and with the ball facing fourth down they're going for it quick throw incomplete look like he was trying to get it over to Martin who was engaged with a defender play never had a chance so they turned it over on downs to Michigan anyway that was a nice play by Donovan Warren of beating the wide receiver to the spot on the slam watch him just take this away yeah that's exactly what he did excellent play you're right Donovan Warren's not a tiny little corner back down the horn a little over six feet about a hundred and ninety pounds he is one of more physical defenders at quarterback in this league first and ten for Michigan they have just 447 to go for see a lots of time [Music] close it up for grabs and his receiver makes the play junior hemingway with a sensational catch in between defenders for CA meanwhile being chased down by jerel worthy eight-yard gain if Tate has flashed sometimes where he makes mistakes it's when he's pressured like that that was a dangerous pass oh yeah Denson really should have had that and he was set to intercept it but great hand strength by two new foresee a [Applause] yet broke it up incomplete come on take four CA waited as long as he could on that he had pressure coming right away from jerel worthy coaches love to teach to create a collision that time pressure on 48 was on colony Li not jerel worthy partner colony Lea the pressure the gin rat watch that hit to dislodge the ball that is running through contact and a textbook tackle Michigan third and short they roll foresee a hornet got started wide open do the 30 cutting right to the 25 sterling trying to get the corner engine right he was to the endzone [Applause] 60 yards [Music] [Applause] [Music] otherwise great afternoon the Sun is suddenly shining on tape for CA and the Michigan Wolverines they're right back in it the Michigan State common sense would suggest ik this late in the game [Applause] extra point is good and with just over four minutes to go on the game this 60 yard pass play brings Michigan to within seven [Applause] Michigan back to within seven just over four minutes to go in the quarter dissect at the last play when we get a chance take a look at and Wayne and this is where you have to be smart you see it right here Stoneham catches this ball now if he just makes the play right there Kendall Davis Clark that's a 26-yard gain but instead he doesn't come to balance and he allows stone him to get to the end zone 26 yard game does not get you beat allowing him to go to the house does stone him now three receptions 79 yards at a touchdown Michigan explosion plays a 41 yard pass play to Coker the tight end a 60-yard pass you just saw two Stoneham three plays 68 yards took just 44 seconds for the Wolverines hi kick-off winston from the 11 to the 20 to the 25 and tripped up across the 30-yard line as they had some sensational writer see anybody award number one for Michigan was usually sensational in those days catch made just short of the 40-yard line by Mark del dot urban Warren had the coverage in the pass was sent by Keith nickel you've got to keep behind these quarterbacks in the ball game both ways though the side uses two Porter bags and Nicholas Scott this particular set of downs second down in three Michigan you got a really hunker down here try and get off the field get your offense back on nearing three minutes to go on the game [Applause] Michigan State second down and relatively short from their 39 tapered the freshmen all in a good play made by Kovacs the former walk-on Dixon at the forty third down and two [Applause] caper the tail the tandem of the offset I Linthicum the tight end in motion to keep her nothing going Kovacs came across untouched once again for the second play in a row a loss of two when it's fourth down and he's unaccounted for all he's doing is shooting off the edge and when you don't block him that's an easy play for him to make good job that were wrapping up hitting the back square and getting them on the ground fourth down [Applause] here Gregg Matthews out of bounds in Michigan will start inside its 10-yard line 92 yards away 253 to go no timeouts [Applause] 2:53 to go michigan state hasn't beaten michigan two years in a row since the Lyndon Johnson administration they have the lead by seven blitz coming from Greg Jones for CA on the robots got it open a receivers stone them out of bounds nine yard gain to the 17 yard line Jeremy where had soft coverage on the corner and partner this all gets down to time management now for for CA you expect to see a lot of cuts by the Michigan receivers remember Michigan's come from behind with their freshman quarterback against did twice and finally got it done on the end last week against Indiana that came from behind a win for CA rolling out diving grab that's incomplete incomplete martavius Odom's could not haul it in David Wolf's got some heat on the quarterback we mentioned it last week comebacks for Michigan this season there's Odom's on the game-winning throw from for CA to beat Indiana in what was a seesaw affair at the big house a week ago there's a look at that last play mode and once again third down and short for CA off the low snap fakes the hand off he's got it spins by Jim rats got the first down across the 25 to the 27 yard line first town clock will stop 222 to go as they remark the football 10-yard game and good timing on this play by Calvin McGee fake to dive play for C a good read on his Park able to pick up the first down no timeouts for the Wolverines Forcier with carlos brown to his right Spartans in the neutral zone wit toss to the flag Brown hammered down annalee marker down and another one of the offensive backfield maybe for roughing the quarterback hit on the receiver made by Chris El Rucker there are two fouls on the play outside by the defense number 57 that penalty is declined personal foul roughing the passer [Applause] automatic first down Trevor Anderson guilty of the infraction see when you pick it up right here [Applause] quite rough is the the man who hit him basically and there's the end of the play and that hit by Rucker [Applause] again partner rain coming down hard now Michigan hands it off the penalty first down at their 42 comeback route Odom's slipping in siding across the 50 in to Spartan territory and he's turning back right there gain of 9 yards first down to the 49 yard line of Michigan State minute 45 remaining again Michigan no timeouts in a crude freshman quarterback out of San Diego California out there wall security had the emphasis with the rein tape for CA fakes the handoff no he's got it around the end and he slips and falls at the 36 yard line of Michigan State now I got to tell you ask you that it looks like it's really slippery out there who does this favor does it favor the offense because they know where they're going well yeah and the defense getting the ball to the ball redirecting but it also calls for the receivers to be able to make dick good cuts and get in and out of there under 90 seconds to go in the game Michigan at the Michigan State 36 foresee a little snap next up we're on a blitz for c8 on the one he close to an open receiver stone on coming back bond and he's down inside the 25 of the 24 were first down Michigan State Jeremy where flushes the quarterback potat forcier who lives for moments like this able to come up with 12 yards there's the blitz work he has to get there where it's come and unimpeded fortunately a great escape ability you know that but where's got to get him on the ground can't let him extend the play under a minute to go first down Michigan 24 yard line to Michigan State for CA plenty of time still looking for CA to the end zone in the overshadow 104 receiver Greg Matthews [Applause] foresee I can't believe he missed that one he got exactly what he wanted he bought time once again with his legs and again just an unguided missile how wide open there is no one and that is that is a great view of it if they don't come back to least tie this game 4850 227 now second down in 10 35 seconds to go no timeouts for see a boulder the Tuck for Matthews incomplete no Flags Matthews crowded down the sidelines by Chris L Rucker and you have to give rupture some props he has been under severe criticism particularly on his play as of late on deep balls excellent coverage against the very talented wide receiver in Matthews 30 seconds to go no timeouts for Michigan Michigan trailing by 7 Michigan 2 / 2 third downs of their last two opportunities facing third and 10 LCA is a big moment killer horsey a scrambling he's going to take it himself for CA to the 20 cuts it back spins inside Deadline he was able to escape the tackle attempt of Denson brandon dense and O Adam dental lights back outside the 15 13 yard scamper waned moments like this typically young freshmen but not this kid he has the Moxie of a warrior in the toughness to go with it and he relishes these moments what could be the equalizing score touchdown and an extra point would tie the game for CA on first down poor CA to get out of bounds and he does inside the ten out of bounds near the nine Jonathan Strayhorn forced him out gain of two great job by staring to get to a ball Forcier was looking for the edge and he's gassed apart safe I'm gas just watching him my goodness fumbled it out of bounds there but now it is second down watch martavius Odom's slot receiver right on both sides snan is drop for CA picks up Wadler into the endzone deflected incomplete you talk about throwing it up for grabs and getting away with it and you have to sort of chocolate these are the defining moments when you get a ball that bounces you away or not here this is just a jump ball this is a hot potato Gordon that looked like he got a shot in it that thing just went floating over and for CA saying I just can't even pick up it's raining so hard here I can't even pick it up he's away with some throws to take for CA reaching back 12 play of this Drive third down and eight to find your team the Michigan State Forcier to the endzone touchdown fleurs wrong dream [Music] redshirt freshman out of trouble and we just have not seen this year executed for the time it is good I don't think we could expect anything else Michigan Michigan State going right down to the wire and possibly overtime 2 seconds remaining and it starts with the young very precocious dangerous yet great blocking up front give those guys some love and wide receiver wide open [Applause] two seconds remaining we've gotta figure just a squid type kick here [Applause] and there's the squid picked up and downed by Michigan State and no time went off he dropped to a knee right away they're gonna let it go to overtime Cousins takes the snap drops to an age 100 second renewal of Michigan and Michigan State and we go to overtime it is glancing tide [Music] so Michigan in overtime here gets it first down five yard line up Michigan State each team gets one timeout the pake to minor this is for CA down to the 20-yard line or Marcus hide a safety makes the tackle the Sun secondly up Duncan and the Sun alternates possessions here you know tomato get on the one set of downs and then it'll be off for another it is rained hard at times here today and another time for some time second down and five hold in his nice catch first down barrel dot bounds into the Michigan bantha Brandon Denson led the way defensively for Michigan State [Music] [Applause] [Music] we welcome those of you join us from the northwestern Purdue game won by Northwestern 2721 welcome to East Lansing Wayne Larrivee Chris Martin and Brent Stover Michigan in overtime at its first possession for CA the carry straight up the middle gets down to about the 9 Greg Jones responding for the Michigan State defense again Michigan State defense was just out on the field for that 80-yard Drive by Michigan so you have to wonder there may be a little bit gas too as they start first envelope sealed in the overtime yeah both sides are gassed and you just wonder if your Michigan State defensively you cannot allow yourself to see the demons and think about the three games and other you lost second down line to gain as the 3 yard line Anderson able to cut him off as he took it up the middle to about the 7 yard line gain of a couple of more yards third down for Michigan and you know you hear coaches say play a full 60 minutes and sometimes it rolls off the back is a player but this is exactly what they're talking about you have to dominate on each and every play play the next play because when you don't it allows a team like Michigan to get right back in it most of the afternoon Michigan State look like the better team third down for CA to the endzone Jennifer Danny partnered appeared broke it up in a secondary that's been under intense scrutiny so what a time to make a big play Fortner driving on the route then it becomes the old kick balls real great read pitches it up to their team a trucker making a big play so Michigan State turns back Michigan in this first overtime Keith nickel is on to quarterback the Spartans to start their possession in this first overtime three receivers top of your screen everybody else is tight on the pitch to Winston off his hands [Applause] near the 34-yard line you know Chris I know the Sun is out right now but it's so wet out there you wonder about the ball and a play like that a pitch to a running back no doubt I mean the intermittent rain causes the ball to be slippery but if you're back you just have to secure the catch you mean you wonder if he has wet gloves that ate it in that but the first thing is ball security a loss of nine second and long coming up Michigan State's first possession offensively overtime caper the table the tandem in the eye that's Cunningham in motion Nicoll looking that way for Cunningham out-of-bounds just inside the 24 Ginty Floyd forced them out of it third down upcoming for Michigan State now you got to think of Brett Swenson yeah and then what I like to see there cutting him snatching the ball out the air with his hand no body catch and allowing the D back to close Swinton's long is 45 of the field goal for Michigan State he's an all-america kicker they only need three to win caper [Applause] for the first time in 42 years Michigan has defeated Michigan State has defeated Michigan two years in a row and you want to see how much this means to the people involved now watch this very capable break fat running bigger than the moment able to shed off defenders in that grit and determination is what Michigan State played with all day long this was some kind of paper I'll tell you and he put a capper 2620 Michigan State [Applause] [Music] it is mayhem on the field as the Spartans celebrate they will keep the Paul Bunyan trophy for a second year absolute mayhem [Applause] and emotions as I said the last time Michigan State beat Michigan two years in a row Lyndon Johnson was in the White House that's it from East Lansing final score Michigan State 26 Michigan 20 and overtime but Chris Martin and Brent Stover I'm Wayne Larrivee special thanks to our statistician Tom hacker we send you to the
