EAST LANSING, Mich. -- All Michigan needed was an exclamation point -- a final flourish that would add a little extra satisfaction to this big victory on a rivals home field.When Michigan State fumbled while attempting a puzzling 2-point conversion with 1 second left, Jabrill Peppers scooped up the loose ball and ran all the way to the end zone. Then the celebration really began.It was just icing on the cake, Michigan quarterback Wilton Speight said. I think we all had figured that we won at that point. Going for two, Im sure there was a reason for that, but for Jabrill to pick that up and take it to the house, that felt good.The defensive conversion by Peppers capped a 32-23 victory for the second-ranked Wolverines, who beat the skidding Spartans for only the second time in the last nine meetings. Peppers also scored a touchdown in the first quarter, and when the games last second finally ticked off, he did a triumphant backflip for good measure.Amara Darboh caught eight passes for a career-high 165 yards, and DeVeon Smith ran for two touchdowns for Michigan.The Wolverines (8-0, 5-0 Big Ten) scored every time they had the ball in the first half, sending the Spartans (2-6, 0-5) to their sixth straight loss. Michigan avenged last years loss to Michigan State, in which the Spartans scored the winning touchdown on the final play when the Wolverines botched a punt .Michigan State went on to a Big Ten title and a national semifinal appearance after that dramatic victory, but this season its Michigan thats in the national title hunt. The Wolverines were heavy favorites to win in East Lansing, and they trailed only briefly in the first quarter.Michigan led 30-10 in the fourth before the Spartans scored a pair of touchdowns, the last of which came with only 1 second on the clock. Down 30-23, Michigan State attempted a 2-point conversion and fumbled, and Peppers went the other way for two points.Im going to keep scratching for every inch and every point that we can possibly get, so when theres one second on the clock, were going to go for two, Spartans coach Mark Dantonio said. At that point in time, were probably losing the game. I dont see any foreseeable way that we can scoop up a ball, because its not legal to scoop up a ball and score on an onside kick. So we went for two. Its unfortunate it ended in a big celebration for them.Speight threw for 244 yards for Michigan. Michigan State, meanwhile, did not complete a pass in the second or third quarter.We were tested in all phases, Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh said. We were sure that was going to be the case and our guys made the plays throughout the ballgame. From start to finish, our guys made a few more plays. It was a good tight game and good for our guys to be tested that way.THE TAKEAWAYMichigan: This was expected to be a mismatch, and it wasnt all that close until the very end. After losing last year on the wacky punt mishap, the Wolverines didnt have to punt until the fourth quarter Saturday. Michigan didnt match its defensive dominance from some earlier games, but the Wolverines did make a nice goal line stand in the third quarter that proved crucial.They bent more than usual, but they never break, Speight said.Michigan State: LJ Scott rushed for 139 yards and a touchdown against the nations top-ranked defense, but Michigan States deficiencies in other areas were eventually exposed. The Spartans defense this year is nothing like the smothering units theyve had in recent seasons, and the passing game was nonexistent until backup quarterback Brian Lewerke came on late.TAKING IT HOMEMichigan won the Paul Bunyan Trophy for the first time since 2012, although CB Jourdan Lewis said he was disappointed the Wolverines didnt have a chance to parade it around the field. Lewis said the trophy was in the locker room afterward.Me and Delano (Hill) wanted to go on the field so we could run it around and get a little victory lap, Lewis said. But hey, we got it back. Im excited to get him back home.GROUND GAMEIn 42 of the previous 46 games in this series, the team with more yards rushing won.
