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. That wasnt the case Saturday, when Michigan State outrushed Michigan 217-192.POLL IMPLICATIONSMichigan: The Wolverines can only move up one more spot in the Top 25, and that isnt likely to happen without a loss by No. 1 Alabama.UP NEXTMichigan: The Wolverines host Maryland next Saturday.Michigan State: This is the longest losing streak for the Spartans since they started 0-7 in 1982 -- not including forfeits from 1994.

Just as Montreal was settling into the first full working week of a new year, the Impact announced the appointment of their new head coach. The lineups that 25th-ranked California and San Diego State will field when they meet at Sacramentos new Golden 1 Center on Monday (11 p.m. ET, Pac-12 Networks) might bear little resemblance to the players they put on the floor in their last games on Wednesday.The Bears (2-0) were missing three starters -- preseason All-American forward Ivan Rabb (toe) guards Jabari Bird (back) and Grant Mullins (neck) -- in their 75-65 overtime victory against UC Irvine.The Aztecs (2-1) faced a worse situation. They started Wednesdays home game against San Diego Christian with only eight players and at one point were down to six, including one walk-on, by the time they finished off an 81-58 victory.They are probably looking for the same thing we are -- to get healthy, Cal coach Cuanzo Martin said, But thats a great program.There is a pretty good chance that many of the injured players will be available on Monday.All three injured Cal players may be ready to return Monday, and if Rabb plays, it would represent his season debut after he sustained a sprained toe in a scrimmage against St. Marys three weeks ago.For San Diego State, Valentine Izundu (ankle) and Matt Shrigley (ankle) could have played Wednesday if the opponent had not been an overmatched NAIA school.Montaque Gill-Caesar (nose) and Dakarai Allen (ankle) were injured during Wednesdays game, but might return for Mondays game, too.The outlook for Malik Pope (knee), Max Hoetzel (knee) and Ben Perez (back) is less certain. All three missed the first three games of the season and remain questionable for the game against Cal.The 6-foot-10 Pope is the key member of that group after starting 16 games last season.Maliks making progress, Aztecs coach Steve Fisher said after Wednesdays game, but I would term myself cautiously optimistic today that he would have a chance (to play Monday).It would haave been nice to have those injured players last Monday at Gonzaga, which clobbered San Diego State 69-48 when the Aztecs shot only 28.dddddddddddd.6 percent from the field.They were not needed against San Diego Christian, although Fisher nearly ran out of players.We had two 13-year-olds as honorary coaches today, Fisher said after the game, and at halftime I said, John, Jake, do you have tennis shoes? They looked at me. I said, Where do you go to school? La Jolla Country Day. What grade are you in? Seventh grade. I said: Im putting one of you in. I mean that, Im putting one of you in.After consulting a rule book, Fisher did not put them in. Jeremy Hemsley had a game-high 23 points for the Aztecs in that game and preseason all-conference selection Trey Kell added 19.The Bears had a much bigger challenge against UC Irvine, which held a 13-point lead early in the second half.Cal rallied behind freshman Charlie Moore, a 5-foot-11 point guard from Chicago who scored 38 points, a Cal freshman record and the most points by a Bears player since Jerome Randle, another undersized point guard from Chicago, scored 39 in 2010.We didnt want to have any excuses after the game, Martin said. You had key guys out, and this is part of the game. You have 13 scholarship guys. You have to make it work with the guys whove been in practice. Probably one of the better wins in my coaching career, just to see guys compete and battle and not make excuses.San Diego State, the preseason pick to win the Mountain West Conference title again, won the conference regular-season title by three games last season, but failed to get into the NCAA tournament. A neutral-court win over Cal might help the Aztecs make the Big Dance this season.
