Faceoff between the Spartans and Wolverines is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. ET. The game will take place in Maryland Heights, Mo. and will be televised on ESPN2.

Well, basketball season starts next week.

Michigan State was embarrassed by their in-state rival on Saturday, losing 49-0 against Michigan at Spartan Stadium. This was the largest margin of victory for either team in the rivalry since 1947.

Spartans get shutout by Wolverines in worst loss in rivalry since 1947

It was ugly from the opening whistle

Paul Bunyan will remain in Ann Arbor for another year.

Michigan State was dominated by their in-state rival Michigan on Saturday, 49-0, losing for a second straight year to the Wolverines. The 49-point loss to the Wolverines was the worst in the rivalry since 1947.

The Wolverines scored touchdowns on each of their first three possessions and four of their six first half drives to build a 28-0 lead at the break. Michigan State had only three first downs to 19 for the Wolverines in the first half.

Things didn’t get much better for the Spartans in the second half, throwing a 72-yard pick-six on their opening drive to put the final nail in their coffin. Michigan star quarterback J.J. McCarthy would throw one more touchdown to finish with a career-high four touchdown passes before getting pulled midway through the third quarter.

Michigan State was out gained  477 to 190 yards in the loss. Michigan State also committed a pair of turnovers to zero for the Wolverines

Michigan State will return to the field next Saturday in a road game at Minnesota. Kickoff between the Spartans and Golden Gophers is scheduled for 3:30 p.m. ET.
