Michigan-Michigan State: College GameDay Information

As the Australian spun around to try and make the kick, he was swarmed by Spartans and the ball popped free. Then, Watts-Jackson held onto the ball and ran to the end zone, where he fell head-first onto the maize-and-blue Block M, ending the game with a 38-yard touchdown off a fumble recovery.

Dantonio says Watts-Jackson is at hospital.

Watts-Jackson grabbed a bobbled ball that deflected out of the hands of O’Neill, Michigan’s punter. I can’t really explain it, but we just had a belief. “Honestly it felt like a dream”.

That final play will go down in Michigan Stadium history, right alongside Michael Westbrook’s catch and Appalachian State’s blocked field goal.

Michigan (5-2, 2-1 Big Ten Conference) was seconds away from knocking off its rival for only the second time in the past eight years.

The defense had done its job and redshirt freshman safety Jabrill Peppers had provided 157 total yards, producing two big kick returns and a 28-yard reception in the second half that set up a Michigan field goal. While he threw four touchdown passes in the win over Air Force, last week was one of the few times Cook has looked sharp.

Connor Cook was 18 of 39 for 328 yards and a TD and Aaron Burbridge had nine receptions for 132 yards for the Spartans.

“You go out here and play a game like this, a rivalry game like this against a great opponent, and emotions are high”, Henry said. Scott scored on the next play to make it 23-21. O’Neill had an 80-yard punt in the first quarter that bounced and rolled all the way to the Michigan State 2. And after being forced to punt on its next possession, Michigan State failed on a fourth-and-19 with under two minutes to play. And it likely rendered moot what would have been one of the more intriguing questions entering Week Six of the 2015 National Football League season if Michigan had won: Will Harbaugh show up in Santa Clara on Sunday? As soon as he does settle down – and they’ve sustained a lot of injuries, so he’s welcoming new guys in the huddle and for the most part he hasn’t looked Connor Cook-esque – but he hasn’t made a ton of mistakes, either.
