Third Quarter

\r\n\r\n

Michigan State tries a fake punt on fourth down and falls just short of the 1st down marker

\r\n\r\n

Michigan scores touchdown on following drive, but called back because De'veon Smith's knee was down just before the line.  Smith ran again on the next down and the officials signaled touchdown.  That play was also called back.  Holman runs the next one in and touchdown is signaled.  After review the touchdown stands. (17-7)

\r\n\r\n

Michigan State big pass for a touchdown.  After review the call is reversed and the ball is on the half yard line.  Next play is a touchdown. (23-21)
