ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Michigan really eviscerated in-state rival Michigan State for the first time since 2006, with an impressive 44-10 win over the Spartans at The Big House.
While the Wolverines were naturally enthusiastic about the win, those who suited up in green and white were obviously dejected about their lopsided loss.
Some credited Michigan and the job they did, others placed blame on themselves.
Here’s what the four players that MSU allowed to meet with the media had to say about the game.

LB Antjuan Simmons
The former Ann Arbor (MI) Pioneer product started at the MIKE linebacker spot, and managed 7 tackles, a sack and 2 tackles for loss in the game. MSU stuffed the run game quite well, as the Wolverines managed just 2.4 sack-adjusted yards-per-carry. But, Michigan annihilated MSU through the pass game, with quarterback Shea Patterson having his best game in a maize and blue uniform, going 24-for-33 for 384 yards and four touchdowns.
What did Simmons see on his side of the field in his view of the Michigan offense?
“They were just doing a lot of things out on the perimeter, out in space,” Simmons said. “I mean, they were just throwing the ball all over the place. They only had 60-70 rushing yards, so yeah.”
