No. 14 Michigan, behind Patterson, rips Michigan State 44-10

ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- Shea Patterson had his best game at Michigan, picking apart a wounded rival to the left, right over the middle and deep. Patterson threw for 384 yards -- his highest total since he played for Mississippi -- and four touchdowns to lead the 14th-ranked Wolverines to a 44-10 rout over Michigan State on Saturday. "This one is special," Patterson said. "I'm proud of be part of this team and part of a dominating win like that." The Wolverines (8-2, 5-2, No. 15 CFP) scored 24 straight points after giving up the first touchdown and finished with their most lopsided win in the rivalry since a 49-3 victory in 2002. Showing no mercy up nearly four touchdowns late in the game, Patterson threw on third-and-2 and connected with Cornelius Johnson for a 39-yard score. Johnson fooled the defense by looking as if he was going to block before he broke down field and got wide open.
