In the most highly anticipated matchup in the rivalry since 2011, No. 4/7 ranked Michigan State will head to Ann Arbor to do battle with the newly rejuvenated No. 12/14 Michigan Wolverines. ESPN’s College GameDay will be in town and the Wolverines are favored by 7.5 points.
Michigan has the No. 2 ranked defense in the country and is coming off of three straight shutouts, including a 38-0 manhandling of No. 13 Northwestern.
Michigan State has won two in a row in the series, and 6 out of the last 7 overall. Despite being undefeated, Michigan State fans are feeling anxious about this Saturday’s game thanks to a litany of injuries the Spartans have suffered this season and the underwhelming play that has resulted.
