Michigan’s got its swagger back.
Mike Sainristil caught a huge touchdown pass from Cade McNamara to put Michigan ahead 30-14 in the 3rd quarter. But after the score, Sainristil hit the Paul Bunyan pose. He sure looks like he wants that trophy.

There was plenty of hype surrounding this year’s Michigan-Michigan State game, and understandably so. The Wolverines and Spartans are both undefeated and in the top 10 of the AP Top 25. College GameDay and FOX Big Noon Kickoff were both broadcasting from East Lansing. Through 3 quarters, it’s certainly living up to the billing.
Michigan State answered back after Sainristil’s score with a touchdown of its own. The Spartans converted the 2-point conversion afterward to make it a one-possession game and cut the Michigan lead to 30-22 with just under 4 minutes left in the 3rd quarter.
This one’s not over yet, folks.
