Michigan State football produces instant classic, rallies to knock out Michigan, 37-33

EAST LANSING — It lived up to every bit of the hype that started building a month ago.

In the end, Michigan State football kicked its unbeaten euphoria up a notch with a dramatic comeback against its biggest rival. And Mel Tucker made more history against Michigan.

Kenneth Walker III added to his Heisman Trophy resume with five touchdowns, including a 23-yarder with 5:08 to play to help the No. 7 Spartans rally from a 16-point, second-half hole and defeat the No. 6 Wolverines, 37-33, in an epic battle Saturday at Spartan Stadium.
