East Lansing — If you wondered whether Michigan took this rivalry seriously enough, wonder no more. If you questioned whether the Wolverines could get riled up to win this type of fistfight game, question no more.
On a wet, chilly day, the rivalry got as heated as ever, and frankly, it was the forceful step the Wolverines needed to take. They stomped on Michigan State all game long, and for pointed measure, stomped on the Spartan midfield logo before and afterward.
