FOOTBALL

Controversial offside call defines 118th MSU–Michigan matchup

A late, controversial offsides call proved pivotal in Michigan’s 31–20 victory over Michigan State, negating a potential fumble recovery and swinging momentum in the Wolverines’ favor.

MSU’s struggles with penalties compounded the impact, highlighting self-inflicted mistakes that kept the Spartans from capitalizing on key opportunities. For fans, the loss deepened the rivalry’s drama and left lingering “what-ifs” about what might have been.
