Spartans' first loss at hand of nemesis Wolverines

EAST LANSING, Mich. (AP) -- Mike Hart's return and Garrett Rivas' redemption gave Michigan a win it desperately needed. Hart ran for 218 yards and a touchdown in his first game back from an injury, and Rivas made up for missing a field goal in the final minute of regulation by kicking a 35-yarder in overtime to give the Wolverines a 34-31 win over No. 11 Michigan State on Saturday. "All I wanted was another chance," Rivas said. "Luckily, overtime went our way and we were able to get another shot." John Goss narrowly missed a 37-yard field goal in overtime and didn't connect on a 23-yard attempt early in the fourth quarter that would have given the Spartans their only lead. "I have no excuses for how I did," Goss said with watery eyes.
