Michigan State is coming off a win against a top-10 team and will face another this week.
The No. 24 Spartans (4-2, 2-1 Big Ten), who won at then-No. 8 Penn State last week, will host No. 6 Michigan (6-1, 4-0) on Saturday (noon, FOX).
Under coach Mark Dantonio, Michigan State has dominated the rivalry with eight wins in the last 10 meetings for the first time in the history of the series. The Spartans are looking to extend their streak of success and keep ownership of the Paul Bunyan Trophy for at least one more year.
