Colston Loveland caught six passes for 67 yards and two touchdowns to help lead host Michigan to a 24-17 win over Michigan State in a Big Ten contest on Saturday. Michigan (5-3, 3-2) won the Paul Bunyan Trophy for a third straight year. Aidan Chiles went 17-of-23 passing for 189 yards against Michigan State (4-4, 2-3), which had 37:05 of possession time and outgained Michigan, 352-265. Trailing 24-10 in the fourth quarter, Michigan State cut Michigan's lead to 24-17 with 6:12 remaining on a 20-yard touchdown pass from Chiles to Nick Marsh. The Spartans got the ball back and drove the ball to the Michigan 16-yard line, but a fourth down pass with under two minutes left from Chiles fell incomplete.
