Michigan powered past Michigan State 31-20 in the annual rivalry showdown, riding a dominant ground attack that featured four rushing touchdowns including Justice Haynes' two third-quarter scores. The Wolverines jumped out to a 10-0 lead and never trailed, with Jordan Marshall delivering the dagger on a 56-yard touchdown run late in the fourth quarter. The Spartans fought valiantly with late scores from Brandon Tullis and Michael Masunas, but couldn't overcome Michigan's balanced offensive attack at Spartan Stadium.
