The best thing about this alternate angle of Michigan State’s game-winning blocked punt is the groans the crowd makes as it watches a sure win suddenly dissolve. The worst thing about this clip is hearing Jalen Watts-Jackson scream in pain at the bottom of the pile.
The Michigan State-Michigan football game is this weekend, which means it’s time for fans of the rival schools to get up to some pregame shenanigans. Michigan fans struck first, by sneaking onto the MSU campus and defacing several landmarks, including a statue of Magic Johnson.
Michigan State beat Ohio State 34-24 in the Big Ten championship and will go to the Rose Bowl.
