East Lansing — There was a moment on Saturday when for a brief few seconds, the Michigan-Michigan State game truly was a family affair.

Sophomore safety David Dowell had just intercepted Michigan quarterback John O’Korn for the second time in the game and the first person to embrace him was his twin brother, Andrew, a starting linebacker for the Spartans.

“It was definitely a great thing,” Andrew Dowell said after practice on Tuesday. “We talked to my dad on Facetime last night and he said after David had that pick, when I put my arm around him and we were celebrating that was a priceless moment for him.
