ANN ARBOR, Mich. — There’s only one game that gets bigger than this one every year, and that’s still weeks out.
Michigan football had its first really big test just over a week ago when it took down Penn State, 41-17. Now rival Michigan State comes to town for a night game, reeling but recovering. The Spartans have won the last two in this series and won their last game against Wisconsin. However, with a 3-4 record, MSU hasn’t lived up to the lofty expectations in East Lansing. A win on Saturday in The Big House would bring some redemption to a moribund season.
However, the Wolverines are looking to keep their record perfect by beating their rival at home.
On Monday, head coach Jim Harbaugh met with the media to discuss the matchup. Here is everything he had to say.
