The Michigan football team defeated Purdue in its Big Ten opener 
two weeks ago, and is coming off a bye week with Michigan State 
as its next opponent. For the first time in the rivalry’s history, the 
game will be played under the lights at Michigan Stadium. Fifth-
year senior quarterback John O’Korn will start under center for the 
seventh-ranked Wolverines, looking to keep hold of Paul Bunyan.

The Daily sat down with Michigan State 
linebacker Chris Frey at Big Ten Media Days.

Chris Bryant found peace in football. He just 
needed to step off the field to get there.

The Daily breaks down how the Spartans 
stack up against the Wolverines.

Florida (Sept. 2): ***Jaws theme song***

Cincinnati (Sept. 9): The Bearcats are the only 
team from Ohio that almost won last week. 

Penn State (Oct. 21): *Types...deletes...
types...* Yeah, that’s off limits too.

Rutgers (Oct. 28): If you’re reading this from 
the hot tub in the student section at Rutgers, 
you should go to the doctor.

Minnesota (Nov. 5): PJ.. Fleck-Harbaugh is the 
next Mayweather-McGregor.

Air Force (Sept. 16): Air Force was my safety 
school. (But really thank you for your service.)

Maryland (Nov. 11): You don’t live in D.C., stop 
saying that.

Purdue (Sept. 23): Jeff Brohm probably had 
better facilities at Western Kentucky.

Michigan State (Oct. 7): The Michigan Daily 
has beaten the State News 12 years in a row.

Indiana (Oct. 14): Hoosier? I barely know her.
Ohio State (Nov. 25): We finally found some-
one who loves college more than Asher Roth: 
tenth-year senior J.T. Barrett.

Wisconsin (Nov. 18): I brought my tent to 
Camp Randall and was wildly disappointed.
