Live Updates: Michigan extends its lead over Michigan State with another trick play

FOURTH QUARTER

3:00 p.m. — Before the start of the fourth quarter, the referee announces a targeting penalty from the previous play. Michigan State starting linebacker Jordan Turner was sent off. It brings the ball to the MSU 42. Michigan alternates between Warren and Orji at quarterback. With Warren on third-and-3, Kendrick Bell catches a pass for a first down at the MSU 23. On the next snap, Edwards makes a pitch, takes a few steps and then throws to a wide-open Colston Loveland for a touchdown. Michigan is digging deep into its bag of tricks tonight. Michigan goes for a two count and gets the ball with a pass from Warren to Loveland. An octopus for Loveland.

THIRD QUARTER

Michigan 16, Michigan State 10

2:04 – Michigan State goes three-and-out and is hurt by a false start penalty early in the drive. Big stop for the Michigan defense.

3:43 – Michigan State attempts an onside kick; A Wolverine tried to reach it from 10 yards out and it bounced around before Michigan's Tavierre Dunlap fell on it. It turned out that MSU was offside anyway. Michigan can't take advantage of the good field position as Loveland drops a potential first down – an official blocked his view just as the ball came. This is a hard break. Michigan kicks.

9:49 — Michigan State makes a mistake on the kickoff, a player calls for a fair catch and another Spartan actually catches the ball. This led to MSU starting at its own 5. After a first down, MSU faced a third-and-4. Chiles threw a ball down the field into single coverage, and Montorie Foster made the catch for a 30-yard gain. On third-and-1, Kenneth Grant picked off MSU running back Nate Carter for a loss. It set up a 46-yard field goal by Jonathan Kim, and he nailed it.

3:00 p.m – Michigan got the ball early in the second half. Davis Warren immediately faced a third-and-8 and found Semaj Morgan for the first down. Alex Orji grabbed the next snap and ran for the first time this evening. He had plenty of space along the Spartan sideline and gained 29 yards to the Michigan State 35. On the next snap, Mullings got the handoff and turned it back to Davis, who found Tyler Morris with a beautiful pass – over one defender and in front of another for a 23-yard gain. Michigan continued the trick: Morgan took a direct snap, faked a reverse to Orji and kept the ball for a seven-yard gain to the Michigan State 5. Michigan got there first and scored from the MSU 1: Mullings lost one Yard; Warren threw it out of the end zone; Orji came in, fired shotgun as MSU subbed out, and ran into the end zone unscathed. This time the extra point is converted.

0:29 – On the second play of the drive, Aidan Chiles rolled to his right, unaware that Josaiah Stewart was coming toward him. Stewart bagged it and forced a fumble, giving the Wolverines good field position.

MSU 7, Michigan 6

2:58 – Michigan finally found a rhythm on offense. It got the chains moving early in the drive when Davis Warren made a 6-yard throw across his body to Semaj Morgan on a third-and-5. Peyton O'Leary then made a quick spin move that allowed him to gain 15 yards. Michigan capped the drive with a 10-yard pass to Colston Loveland, who somehow remained uncovered in the end zone. Definitely a missed opportunity in MSU's secondary. A botched snap resulted in a missed PAT.

MSU 7, Michigan 6

5:17 – MSU started under its own power after the punt and made a three-pointer for the first time tonight. A downfield ineligible penalty put the Spartans in trouble, but they almost recovered when Nate Carter gained 8 yards on third-and-9.

MSU 7, Michigan 0

9:12 – MSU is doing everything it can to slow down Michigan’s running game, and it’s working. There was a first down when Kalel Mullings rushed up the middle for a 6-yard gain on a third-and-1 from the Michigan 39, but he was caught at the line of scrimmage on a third-and-6 from midfield met. which led to another punt. Mullings has just 7 rushing yards on 5 carries while Davis Warren is 4 of 5 passing for 23 yards. He threw a swing pass to Semaj Morgan early in the drive, and Morgan slipped after reaching down to catch the pass, resulting in a 3-yard loss.

MSU 7, Michigan 0

12:46 – The Spartans started at their own 10 after a solid punt from Tommy Doman. They picked one off first before punting. Aidan Chiles slipped out of a sack early in the drive and gained 2 yards, but a short pass on third-and-7 was blasted by Ernest Hausmann for a 5-yard loss.

MSU 7, Michigan 0

3:00 p.m – Another uninspired push for the Michigan offense. Donovan Edwards had a 3-yard run and then a 3-yard reception on a checkdown. He touched the ball again on third down on a pitch while in motion before the snap, but was held for a 3-yard loss.

MSU 7, Michigan 0

FIRST QUARTER

0:10 – Davis Warren threw a screen to Colston Loveland for a 14-yard pickup to end the quarter, but it was still all Spartans for the first 15 minutes. The total yards are 135-15 in favor of MSU.

MSU 7, Michigan 0

5:23 – MSU started from its own 38 yards and drove 62 yards for a touchdown. The turning point was a third-and-9 at the Michigan 45.

MSU 7, Michigan 0

6:52 – Michigan took over at its own 20 after the missed field goal, but went nowhere. Kalel Mullings was stuffed on first and second downs, leading to a third-and-long. Davis Warren, starting for the first time since Week 3, threw the ball away, resulting in a punt. He appeared to have TE Colston Loveland open on a crossing route but didn't hit him.

Michigan 0, MSU 0

3:00 p.m – The Spartans found their run game against Iowa last week and stuck with it on their first drive against Michigan. They completed 11 of 13 plays and had success until they reached Michigan's 10-yard line. They played third-and-2 action, but Quinten Johnson was pushed over Jack Velling to break up the pass. MSU wanted to go for it on fourth down, but a delay of game penalty changed Jonathan Smith's mind. Jonathan Kim then missed a 25-yard FG attempt. Nate Carter was heavily involved early, rushing four times for 22 yards and gaining 26 yards on a screen pass. As expected, Aamir Hall serves as cornerback in place of the injured Will Johnson.

How to watch Michigan vs. Michigan State (10/23/24): TV channel, kickoff time, live stream

Both programs are 4-3 and 2-2 in the Big Ten, but are trending in different directions. The Wolverines have lost consecutive games for the first time since 2020. They had a long list of things they tried to improve during a bye before last week's game against Illinois, but a lackluster passing game and turnover problems remained.

Michigan lost 21-7 in Jack Tuttle's first start behind center, scoring its fewest points in a game since 2014. That prompted first-year head coach Sherrone Moore to make another change at quarterback, with backup Davis Warren is expected to begin on Saturday, according to CBS Sports. Warren started the first three games before being benched after throwing three interceptions in a win over Arkansas State.

Meanwhile, the Spartans appeared to benefit from their bye week, ending their three-game losing streak with a 32-20 win over Iowa.

They outgained the Hawkeyes by 468 yards to 283 and revitalized their running game with a season-high 212 yards. That could carry into Saturday's game, as the team with the most productive ground attack has won 48 of the last 54 games in the rivalry.

Michigan has won the last two meetings, including 49-0 in East Lansing last year.
