Unbeaten Big Ten schools from the same state dueled Saturday in East Lansing.
Both Michigan and Michigan State were 7-0 coming into the contest.
The Wolverines struck first and in a massive way.
On a third-and-5, Cade McNamara hit Andrel Anthony, who did the rest.
The play covered 93 yards and was the second-longest passing TD in school history.
After the PAT, the Wolverines had a 7-0 lead.
Second longest passing TD in Michigan history.

To the shock of everyone, the longest passing play did not involve Tom Brady. Rather, Ryan Mallett and Mario Manningham combined on a 97-yard play in 2007.
The Wolverines are hoping the results are different with this long play. In the 2007 game against Wisconsin, Michigan lost, 37-21.
