Michigan State's defense continues to show their might as they shutout the ever dangerous Michigan Wolverine's. The win would be the result of survival to game that featured 9 injuries in total. Key drive for Michigan State was a defensive stop actually; the first drive of the 2nd half for Michigan saw Michigan get a 20+ yd run called back for holding. Following the holding call, Michigan State would stop a run option by QB D.Robinson for a 3yd loss, but the biggest loss on the play would be D.Robinson who would suffer a back injury and would not return. After another holding call on the drive, a sack would put Michigan at their own 3yd line. On 3rd and 27, Michigan chose to be conservative and called a draw play which nearly resulted in a safety had it not been for forward progress. On 4th and 29 from their 1yd line, Michigan would shank an almost blocked punt that would give Michigan State the ball at the 21yd line. It would only take 2 runs by RB L.Caper for Michigan State to score. Following drive would end with Michigan's backup QB throwing an ill advised throw that was intercepted and returned for a TD. The rest of the game was all Michigan State as they would chew up the clock on every possession. While the game was a mess and consisted of a total of 7 turnovers, 9 injuries, and over 100yds of penalties; the Michigan State defense proved their might as they would shutout Michigan in the redzone on 4 attempts and hold the potent Michigan rushing attack to a total of 5yds.
