The Battle for the Paul Bunyan Trophy

The Paul Bunyan–Governor of Michigan Trophy is a college rivalry trophy awarded to the winner of the annual American football game between the Michigan State Spartans and the Michigan Wolverines. The winner retains possession of the trophy until the next year's game. Michigan State currently holds the trophy with their 23-12 victory in Spartan Stadium, on September 28th, 2014.

The naming of the trophy after the mythical giant lumberjack Paul Bunyan reflects Michigan's history as a major lumber-producing state. The trophy was first presented in 1953 (State's first year as a full Big Ten member) by then-governor G. Mennen Williams, and is a four-foot-high wooden statue on a five-foot-high base.

The Paul Bunyan Trophy is not to be confused with Paul Bunyan's Axe, which is annually given to the winner of the game between the Wisconsin Badgers and the Minnesota Golden Gophers, both of which are also in the Big Ten

After a relatively quiet 1st half, K. Mumphery(#87) takes a screen pass to the house from 63 yards out and meets his buddy J. Langford(#23) in the end zone to celebrate.


B. Prince(#13) catches a short pass from J. Boisture and uses his feet to get in the end zone. B. Prince is quickly building his legacy at MSU and has become a go to receiver for Boisture.


J. Boisture(#7) throws a pinpoint accurate pass to K. Mumphery for a score in OT. Boisture must have ice water in his veins, because he stepped up in OT and carried the team on his back, passing for a touchdown and running for one.

Way to turn the season around! Must have been very exciting wins over Michigan (thank god you beat them ) and Ohio State.
