Michigan State makes 5 field goals, forces 4 turnovers and has 5 sacks in 15-6 win over Michigan

ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- , Pat Fitzgerald's long wait is over. Liam Boyd made five field goals on five attempts and Michigan State's defense forced four turnovers and had five sacks in a 15-6 win over Michigan on Saturday night. The Spartans (3-6, 1-5 Big Ten) snapped a six-game losing streak and helped Fitzgerald end a 13-game Big Ten losing streak, dating to the 2022 season-opening game at Northwestern. They snatched the Paul Bunyan Trophy that the winner of the rivalry gets to keep after the game and went around the perimeter of the field to enjoy the moment with green-and-white clad fans in the Big House that didn't have many Michigan fans in the stands for the final minutes. “To see our fan base and celebrate with them is something I'll never, ever forget," Fitzgerald said.
