Michigan State 26 - (22) Michigan 20 (OT) : The Tate Forcier honeymoon is over as Michigan fell to struggling rival Michigan St. over the weekend. Forcier didn't play bad as he was the only spark of offense the Wolverines had all day throwing for 223, 2 TDs and 1 pick and rushing for 27 yards. But the down side to that was his 27 yards led the team. Michigan didn't do much on the ground against Sparty and it almost seemed as if the running game was all together abandoned by RichRod. With solid veteran backs like Brandon Minor and Carlos Brown you can't have just 10 carries between the 2 of them and 13 by your undersized true freshman QB. Not the gameplan I would choose.
The Spartans definitely displayed some resilience in this game after dropping 3 straight. After letting the Wolverines back into the game late, an overtime loss at home after that effort would have been a devastating blow to this team's psyche. This victory was a big step for a team seeking any kind of positivity. Now the question is who's the QB of this team, Cousins or Nichol? Some say having 2 quarterbacks means you don't have 1.
