Game Thread: Michigan State At Michigan, First Half

It’s finally here! The day we determine bragging rights in the Great Lakes state (gridiron wise at least) for an entire year has arrived. Michigan State’s new head coach Mel Tucker is looking to rebound after a disappointing debut against Rutgers last week, and he has quite the opportunity today as the team is down in Ann Arbor to take on the Michigan Wolverines.

The odds are long for Coach Tucker to win, though. Not just on the betting line, but history of the series as well. Michigan State head coaches in their first game versus Michigan are just 1-18 all time in the history of the program.
