Relive Michigan State football's 2011 Hail Mary to beat Wisconsin with Kirk Cousins

Quarterback Kirk Cousins dropped back, bought himself time and let the football fly as time expired in a play that would become one of the greatest moments in Michigan State football history.

His 44-yard Hail Mary landed in the hands of wide receiver Keith Nichol on the goal line for a stunning 37-31 upset victory over Wisconsin at Spartan Stadium. Replay reversed the call on the field, improving MSU to 6-1 near the end of an October stretch that already included games against Ohio State and Michigan.

Cousins will relive the "Rocket" game through a replay at 8:30 p.
