While the game was closely played throughout, it is the game's conclusion that is most remembered. On fourth-and-goal, Michigan State quarterback Jeff Smoker threw a touchdown pass to running back T. J. Duckett as time expired to win 26–24.[1] Smoker had spiked the ball with one second showing on the clock to allow the Spartans to have one last play.[2]
