With a bye last week, the Wolverines have had two weeks to prepare for the Spartans. Michigan (7-2, 4-2) has taken things in stride since a 28-21 loss to Penn State on Oct. 19. The Wolverines have outscored opponents 83-21, including a 45-14 win vs. Notre Dame on Oct. 26. Michigan dominated Maryland on Nov. 2 in a 38-7 win. Nine different receivers had at least one catch and on defense, the Wolverines were led by Josh Metellus, who had eight tackles, and Joshua Uche, who had two sacks.
Nothing is going right for Michigan State (4-5, 2-4). The team took a tight 37-34 loss to Illinois last weekend. The Spartans surrendered a 21-point third-quarter lead and were outscored 27-3 in the fourth quarter. That was done even though the Spartans tallied 526 yards of offense, including 275 rushing yards. Quarterback Brian Lewerke had a tough night, throwing three interceptions and just one touchdown. Elijah Collins and Cody White were bright spots for the Spartans. Collins ran for 170 yards, while White had 128 yards receiving. The Spartans are likely to be without star linebacker Joe Bachie, who has appealed his suspension by the Big Ten for failing a drug test.
The Wolverines won last year’s meeting, 21-7, in East Lansing and have won two of the last three games. Michigan leads the all-time series, 70-36-5, but has dropped its last two home games to the Spartans.
