“Football is a insane, crazy game”, Dantonio said.

Michigan slipped to 5-2 and 2-1 in conference play. 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. I mean, you saw it. Is that about the way you saw it?
It looked like a trick play was going to lead to a setback for the Spartans.
The Wolverines were seconds or a first down away from sealing the momentum-building win after Sione Houma ran for two TDs, Allen kicked three field goals and forcing the Spartans to turn the ball over on downs with 1:47 left at its 45.
The Wolverines played their first game at Michigan Stadium in 1927, and there haven’t been many that have ended this dramatically. John attended the Michigan-Maryland game a few weeks back, and Jim attended Baltimore’s playoff win over Pittsburgh in January. Senior receiver Aaron Burbridge had nine catches for 132 yards and Macgarrett Kings Jr. had a 30-yard touchdown reception.
The announcement here was for a personal foul call levied against Michigan State’s Malik McDowell on a fourth-quarter punt. He should have just fell on it. So mistakes were made.
The Wolverines weren’t merely winning, they were dominating, having been transformed nearly overnight into legitimate contenders for the Big Ten championship. Just talking to him the last couple of days, I know he’s excited about it, but I don’t know if it supersedes the challenges he’s already had.
“He played outstanding”, Dantonio said. “Didn’t get the results”.
Here’s how the Wolverines’ fans in Michigan Stadium reacted as their team lost to Michigan State, 27-23, thanks to a game-winning punt block for a touchdown. Broken or dislocated hip.

Michigan State coach Mark Dantonio said Watts-Jackson, who was taken off the field on a cart, was being treated at a local hospital after the Big Ten game. Michigan senior linebacker Joe Bolden was called for targeting in the second quarter.
