    Big Ten Recaps & Scores, Week 7

    Quick recaps and takes on all the Big Ten Week 7 games.

    October 18, 2015

    Michigan State at Michigan

    Final Score: Michigan State 27, Michigan 23
    Pick: Michigan State 20, Michigan 17
    Line: Michigan -8.5, o/u: Michigan 40.5

    In one of the most improbable endings in college football history, up two with ten seconds to play, all Michigan P Blake O’Neill had to do was get the punt away. Instead, he dropped the snap, it went into the hands of Jalen Watts-Jackson, and he found his way into the end zone 38 yards later for the amazing Michigan State win. Before the craziness, Michigan managed two tough touchdown runs from Sine Houma and three Kenny Allen field goals, but the offense wasn’t able to put it away on the last two drives. Michigan State got two touchdown runs from LJ Scott and a 30-yard Macgarrett Kings Jr. scoring grab, but the final drive stalled on a fourth down misfire. The D held firm, Michigan had to punt, and the rest will go down as the most amazing moment ever in the great rivalry.

    Player of the Game: Michigan State WR Aaron Burbridge caught nine passes for 132 yards, and Michigan CB Jourdan Lewis made seven tackles with six broken up passes.  

    Rutgers vs. Indiana

    Final Score: Rutgers 55, Indiana 52
    Pick: Rutgers 31, Indiana 27

    On any other day, this would’ve been the Big Ten game everyone would’ve been talking about. Down 52-27 in the third quarter, Rutgers went on a wild rally with three takeaways and 28 unanswered points finished off by a 26-yard Kyle Federico field goal as time expired. Leonte Carroo caught three touchdown passes for the Scarlet Knights, with his 43-yard scoring play starting out the final run and with Kemoko Turray returning a fumble for a touchdown early in the fourth. Indiana was unstoppable for most of the game, with Nate Sudfeld throwing for 464 yards and four scores, but the offense couldn’t stop giving up the ball late. In all, the two teams combined for 1,223 yards with 850 through the air.
