Good story from the Lansing State Journal on the '74 game with current interviews with the players.  Worth the read.

Thirty seconds felt like a lifetime, the next hour like an eternity in purgatory.

Forty years later, it all seems like yesterday to the men who were in the middle of one of the most stunning and surreal scenes in Spartan Stadium history.

Michigan State players jumped for joy as the scoreboard light bulbs flashed to zero. Moments later, Ohio State's guys were doing the same.

One referee signaled a touchdown. Another waved his arms, determining the game had ended. Woody Hayes' volatile temper boiled over as he back-handed an MSU fan who had rushed the field.
