"It’s the most fantastic ending that you’d never predict."

"An explosion of probability."

"One of the greatest endings in the history of college football."

"It’s just pure shock."

"Sean McDonough lives rent-free in my head."

"It still gives me goosebumps."

the Trouble with the Snap game actually was the first of two games that season where Michigan State won but didn't have the lead until 00:00.

some interesting (10yo) game notes: punter Blake O'Neill's game started with a huge 80-yard punt before ending with trouble with the snap, the botched punt was the game's only turnover, and the game's final TD was the only time Michigan State had the lead. ftw.usatoday.com/story/sports...

-Jalen Watts-Jackson dislocated his shoulder two days before the game and almost didn't travel to Ann Arbor
-long snapper Scott Sypniewski broke his thumb on the last play ftw.usatoday.com/story/sports...
