PREVIEW: MSU prepares to host No. 2 U-M in battle for Paul Bunyan

The MSU football team (2-5, 0-4 Big Ten) will face their toughest challenge of the year when they welcome No. 2 University of Michigan (7-0, 4-0 Big Ten) into Spartan Stadium for the biggest game the Spartans will play this season.

Despite U-M being favored by nearly 24-points, MSU head coach Mark Dantonio is not expecting his team to come out flat, especially considering their in-state rival will be invading their home stadium Saturday afternoon.

“They’ve got a good football team,” Dantonio said. “The challenge is there, there’s no question about that. Can we win? Yeah, we can win.
