ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- For the third year in a row, Michigan football took down its rival Michigan State on Saturday. The Wolverines defeated MSU 24-17 and between some magic in the second half and a MSU turnover on downs in the final minutes -- it propelled Michigan to 5-3 on the year.

The Wolverines opted to start Davis Warren on Saturday and he excelled in his opportunity. He was turnover-free and threw a score to Colston Loveland. The Wolverines also found themselves using Alex Orji who played his best game yet. Kirk Campbell also called a halfback pass in which resulted in a 23-yard touchdown pass from Donovan Edwards to Colston Loveland for a score.

Here are some of the best reactions from the game.

Orji for the win. Of course.

Michigan State is going to out-rush Michigan and lose.

When's the last time that's happened, either side, in this game?

In an incredibly challenging year boy does it feel good to beat Michigan State. Kudos to every young man wearing the winged helmet. Thank you.

Michigan needed that win, not just because it's a rivalry game or for confidence. I'm not sure there was a path to a bowl game without a win today.
