You can take the player out of the rivalry, but you can’t take the rivalry out of the player.
In case you missed it, Michigan State went down, 38-27, to lowly Rutgers, in its season opener on Saturday in East Lansing. While that’s embarrassing in its own right, we knew that Mel Tucker would have a difficult time finding wins in his first year.
One player who came up big for the Scarlet Knights was none other than defensive tackle Michael Dwumfour, who transferred for his fifth-year to Greg Schiano’s squad in Piscataway. And after having spent four years in Ann Arbor, he’s still harboring some resentment towards the Spartans.
Idk how anyone could live in East Lansing 🤢

Dwumfour had 5 tackles, including one for loss in Rutgers’ first Big Ten win since its 2017 win over Maryland. In his personal career, Dwumfour has only lost to MSU once, also in 2017 — meaning he has a 4-1 record over his now personal rival.
