Ed Mulholland / USA TODAY Sports

Michigan linebacker Jabrill Peppers has made a case for the Heisman Trophy this season, as he has lined up on offense, defense, and special teams. In the Wolverines 32-23 victory over rival Michigan State, Peppers played a total of nine different positions combined between all three phases.

On offense, Peppers scored his third rushing touchdown of the season, with a nice diving score, as captured by the new pylon camera.

Defensively, with the Spartans driving late in the game, Peppers sacked Brian Lewerke to force a turnover on downs.

Then, after the Spartans scored a touchdown with a second left on the clock and attempting a two-point conversion, Peppers picked up the loose ball and returned it for the two-point defensive score.

Finally, to top it all off, Peppers showed off with the back flip after the Wolverines took a knee to end the game, giving Michigan their first win over their rivals in three years.
