EAST LANSING, Mich. Joe Smith Jersey . -- With under a minute remaining in another comfortable win over his teams biggest rival, Michigan State coach Mark Dantonio had the Spartans keep right on running the ball. No kneel-downs, no letting up. Eventually, Jeremy Langford scored a touchdown with 28 seconds left. I just felt like we needed to put a stake in them at that point, Dantonio said. The eighth-ranked Spartans trounced Michigan 35-11 on Saturday for their sixth victory in the past seven games against the Wolverines, but all that recent success hasnt removed the chip from Michigan States shoulder. That was evident after the game, when the Spartans took exception to what they said was a disrespectful pregame gesture by the Wolverines. They ran out, and one of the players had a spear or a dagger or something and just spiked it in our grass, Spartans quarterback Connor Cook said. Right before kickoff, disrespecting us. Langford ran for 177 yards and three touchdowns for the Spartans, who outgained Michigan 446-186 and won their 14th straight game against a Big Ten opponent. This one was extra special, of course. The only other time Michigan State has won six of seven over the Wolverines was between 1956-62. In the days leading up to this game, players and coaches from both teams were careful not to say anything inflammatory. Dantonio, who has been happy to speak his mind on this rivalry in the past, was fairly reserved. After Saturdays game, he abandoned all pretenses. You might as well just come out and say what youre feeling at some point in time, because you can only be diplomatic for so long, Dantonio said. The Little Brother stuff, all the disrespect -- didnt have to go in that direction. We tried to handle ourself with composure. It doesnt come from the coach, it comes from the program. Throwing the stake down in our backyard out here, and coming out there like theyre all that. It got shoved up -- it got shoved in the last minute. Wolverines coach Brady Hoke didnt sound particularly upset about Michigan States late touchdown. We have 11 guys out there. They have 11 guys out there, Hoke said. Were trying to compete. Theyre trying to compete. Thats what competition is. This series hasnt been particularly competitive lately. Michigan State held the Wolverines to minus-48 yards rushing last year in a 29-6 victory, and Michigan was shut down again Saturday. The Wolverines (3-5, 1-3 Big Ten) are in danger of missing the post-season in Hokes fourth year at the helm, and this game did little to ease Michigans descent. The Wolverines were held to zero yards rushing in the first half. Langford scored a pair of short touchdowns in the first half to give Michigan State a 14-3 lead. Then RJ Williamson scored on a 29-yard interception return in the third, and Cook threw a 70-yard touchdown pass to Tony Lippett later that quarter. Langfords final touchdown -- a 5-yarder at the end of the game -- became the major talking point afterward. The Spartans (7-1, 4-0) have next weekend off before hosting Ohio State in a rematch of last years conference championship game. After winning the Rose Bowl last season, Michigan State is very much in the mix for college footballs new four-team playoff. But first, the Spartans had to focus on maintaining the upper hand against their biggest rival -- a Michigan program that has had players dismissively refer to Michigan State as a little brother in the past. We want to win every game. This game just means a little bit more, Spartans safety Kurtis Drummond said. We dont underplay this win at all. For a moment, it looked as if the Spartans might be short-handed for that Ohio State game. Standout linebacker Taiwan Jones was called for roughing the passer with targeting in the third quarter, which would have carried a first-half suspension for Michigan States next game. But the targeting element was withdrawn after a review, and Jones played on. The Spartans committed 15-yard penalties on the first three plays of that drive, but Michigan still didnt score, turning the ball over on downs at the Michigan State 6. Michigan finally reached the end zone on DeVeon Smiths 1-yard touchdown run with 3:40 remaining in the fourth. That was the first touchdown Michigan State had allowed to the Wolverines since 2011, but the Spartans had one more answer after that -- one that carried a bit of a message. This is embedded in people. You need to understand that. This is our football team, thats theirs, and I understand the dynamics that are a part of that, Dantonio said. Doesnt mean I dont like them personally, but I understand the dynamics. ... This is the way its been, and as Ive said, Im just carrying on the tradition. Joel Embiid Jersey . Geovany Soto had an RBI for the Cubs. Carlos Silva gave up one run on three hits over six innings to pick up the win. Josh Willingham drove in the lone run for the Nationals, who had just four hits. Clint Richardson Jersey . 17.A string of English Premier League teams, most in the lower end of the standings, has been linked to the 32-year-old forward but most have seemingly balked at the cost given his wages and transfer fee.San Antonio, TX - The San Antonio Spurs signed forward Reggie Williams to a 10-day contract on Wednesday.
