4. Plaxico Burress vs. 13. BJ Cunningham

There’s something to be said for how impactful big performances against Michigan are for Michigan State players. Burress, as great as he was in just two years at MSU, is probably most remembered for what he did against UofM in 1999, catching ten passes for an absurd 255 yards in No. 11 MSU’s 34-31 win over No. 3 Michigan. That alone is enough to endear Plax to MSU fans forever. Add in the great production for the rest of his two season at MSU and you get an incredibly beloved player.

He takes on BJ Cunningham, the top receiver during the Kirk Cousins era. BJ’s name is all over the MSU record book and he had a knack for coming up with big catches during the very successful 2010 and 2011 seasons. He is Michigan State’s all-time leader in both career receptions and career receiving yards and ranks second in career touchdowns.
