No. 6 Michigan has a full head of steam and a chance to launch toward a shot at a championship if it can take care of business at No. 24 Michigan State, the Wolverines' hated in-state rival.
Sound familiar?
They've been playing this same tune up-and-down Interstate 96 for more than a decade now, and it usually ends on a sour note for Michigan.
This year's game will mark the eighth time in the past 10 years that the Wolverines (6-1) enter their annual meeting with Mark Dantonio & Co. with one or zero losses.
