37-33.
A final score Michigan fans nor Michigan State fans won’t soon forget.
Michigan State was 7-0 heading into the matchup and ranked No. 8, Michigan was also 7-0 and ranked at No. 6 during a gray and misty day at Spartan Stadium. ESPN’s College Gameday was on the scene, it was the highest rated game of the season at the time.
The Wolverines started hot, but their 30-14 lead turned into a 37-33 loss.
It was a game with controversial officiating, with no play standing out more than a strip-sack fumble for Michigan’s defense that was initially ruled a Michigan touchdown — the play was ultimately reviewed and overturned, with the reasoning being MSU quarterback Payton Thorne’s shin was down.
