Michigan’s in-state rivalry returns this weekend as the Wolverines face off against the Michigan State Spartans under the lights at Michigan Stadium.
The storied battle for the Paul Bunyan Trophy dates back to 1898, with Michigan leading the all-time series, 73-38-5. Michigan currently boasts a two-game winning streak, with the most recent outing being a 49-0 shutout victory at Spartan Stadium last year.
The Wolverines will undoubtedly be looking to bounce back after two consecutive losses, including a 21-7 defeat against Illinois last weekend. Meanwhile, Michigan State looked revitalized after its own bye, dominating Iowa in a 32-20 win last Saturday.
