Michigan State Beat Wisconsin on a Hail Mary [Video]
By Jason McIntyre
Michigan State’s Hail Mary touchdown pass – it bounced off two people and wound up in the arms of Keith Nichol – was college football’s finest moment this season.
Wisconsin, which was eliminated from National title contention with the last-second loss – that’s why we need a playoff, people – led 14-0 but had a field goal and punt blocked, and the Spartans, playing at home, reeled off 23 straight points.
Wisconsin trailed 31-17 in the fourth quarter before two late TDs tied the game, setting up Kirk Cousins’ heroics. This finish was also great for Notre Dame fans – the Irish won’t be ripped as badly for their embarrassing 31-17 loss to USC.
