No. 8 Michigan State stormed back from 16 points down in the second half on Saturday afternoon to defeat No. 6 Michigan 37-33 in a thriller between two teams atop the Big Ten East. The Spartans didn't take their first lead of the game until only 5 minutes remained, which is when star running back Kenneth Walker III broke free for a 23-yard touchdown run to seal the win.
It was Walker's fifth touchdown run of the game as he cemented his status as a top Heisman contender. Walker finished the day with 197 yards rushing on 23 carries for an average of 8.6 yards per carry. He broke off three rushes of at least 20 yards on the day, including a 27-yard touchdown run in the first quarter and a 58-yard touchdown run early in the fourth. It was an incredible performance for the transfer from Wake Forest, and just another in a growing list of standout showings during his time with the Spartans.
Michigan State needed all five of Walker's touchdowns, too, as the Michigan offense was impressive in defeat. The Wolverines finished the day with 552 yards of offense as Cade McNamara threw for 383 yards and two touchdowns, but it wasn't enough. Two fourth-quarter turnovers proved fatal for the Wolverines.
Michigan State improves to 8-0 on the season, while Michigan falls to 7-1.
CBS Sports will update this story shortly with takeaways from the Spartans' comeback win over the Wolverines.
