A reeling Michigan State team comes in ready to play its ostensible
Super Bowl against the No. 15 Michigan football team, with the
trajectory of its program in peril. Still, the Spartans have won eight of
the previous 12 matchups between the in-state rivals, and come into
this one presumably eager to do anything to keep it competitive.

What to watch for when Michigan takes
the field on Saturday against MSU.
Middle Tennessee State (Aug. 31): Look man,
the middle of Tennessee is decidedly not a state.
Army (Sept. 7): Y’all remember when Army
almost beat Michigan? Wild stuff.
Penn State (Oct. 19): Look, you don’t just go
into the hallowed grounds of *checks notes*
TCF Bank Stadium and emerge victorious.
Notre Dame (Oct. 26): Organized religion is a
sham. Eat at Arby’s.
Maryland (Nov. 2): Maybe Mike Locksley and
Josh Gattis shouldn’t have been so quick to fight
over credit for their offense after all.
Wisconsin (Sept. 21): Sure, your town is sick
and your beer is elite and Jump Around is cool
and your campus is on multiple lakes and ...
Michigan State (Nov. 16): The Michigan Daily
has beaten The State News 14 years in a row.
Rutgers (Sept. 28): My grandma’s New Jersey
retirement home mahjong group could beat Rut-
gers in football ... basketball would be close, too.
Iowa (Oct. 5): The year is 2080. Aliens have
taken over. Iowa capped off a 7-5 season with a
five-year extension for Kirk Ferentz. All is well.
Illinois (Oct. 12): It turns out Lovie Smith does
still have a pulse!
Ohio State (Nov. 30): I’m sure Chase Young
learned his lesson.
Indiana (Nov. 23): Let’s all take a moment to
eulogize the Penix puns we could have made.
Gone but not forgotten.
