The Michigan Wolverines were a much better football team than the Michigan State Spartans in every area. That is what makes the loss so much more unbearable. Nevertheless, they must focus on their next game and hopefully fuel themselves with the inexplicable loss to their in-state rival.
Now they get an opponent that has snuck up on them in the previous years, despite a 24-game losing streak to the Wolverines, the Indiana Hoosiers.
The all-time record in this series is preposterous. Dating back to 1900, Michigan has won 59 of 68 meetings, including seven-straight seasons since the divisions were created in the Big Ten conference.
