Just when you think you know what's going to happen in this Michigan-Michigan State football rivalry ...
The Spartans stunned No. 14 Michigan, 27-24, on Saturday at the Big House, bringing the records for both teams to 1-1.
After Connor Heyward's second touchdown catch, giving the Spartans a 10-point lead in the fourth quarter, MSU fans and alums could taste victory.
No one shared that sentiment stronger than former MSU coach Mark Dantonio:
