The Wolverines’ defense flat-out dominated Michigan State on Saturday.
Michigan took care of the Spartans 29-7 in Week 9 and it was Jim Harbaugh’s first win against Mel Tucker since he took the job at Michigan State.
The maize and blue allowed seven points in the first half and then MSU couldn’t get anything going once it came out of the tunnel after halftime. The Spartans had three straight three-and-outs to being the third quarter and the last one resulted in a ‘trouble with the snap’ moment from the Spartans punt team.
Michigan sacked Payton Thorne twice and Rod Moore secured an interception.
It was an inspiring performance from the Michigan defense. If you were wondering which 10 Michigan players graded out the highest on the defensive side of the ball, we have you covered.
