For one-half of the state, it is the biggest game of the year. For the other half, it’s a contest against their in-state rival. The Michigan Wolverines are set for their annual bout with the Michigan State Spartans this Saturday in what was once looked at as a one-sided affair but has turned into an important game for both sides.
The Wolverines are coming off consecutive losses, with their last win coming almost a month ago at this point. Meanwhile, the Spartans are coming off a huge home win over the Iowa Hawkeyes.
