Taxidermied chipmunks re-enact MSU win over U-M

LANSING - Michigan State's unlikely Oct. 17 win over the University of Michigan has been captured in an even more unlikely way — by a Lansing taxidermist using 27 dead chipmunks.

Nick Saade put the final touches on his second gridiron creation Monday. It shows the final play of the game with a tiny rodent in a tiny MSU helmet re-enacting Jalen Watts-Jackson's 38-yard fumble return. MSU won 27-23.

"After watching the game and seeing what happened, and we were so close to the prediction. We did win at the last second. I decided to re-enact the play itself and make it more realistic," he said.
