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 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.
