Michigan St beats No. 7 Michigan 14-10 for 8th time in 10 games

ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- Mark Dantonio has done what seemed improbable a decade ago and in the previous century, figuring out a way to help Michigan State have its way with Michigan on a consistent basis. Brian Lewerke ran for a touchdown and threw for a score in the first half and the Spartans held on to beat the seventh-ranked Wolverines 14-10 on Saturday night. Michigan State (4-1, 2-0 Big Ten) has beaten Michigan eight times in a 10-year stretch for the first time in a series that dates to 1898. "I told our football team, every player that comes here, to dream big," Dantonio said. The Wolverines (4-1, 1-1) had the ball late with a chance to drive for a go-ahead TD, but a heave from the Spartans 37 as time expired hit the turf near the goal line. Michigan could not overcome many mistakes, including five turnovers and several costly penalties.
