In an intrastate battle first waged in 1898, the defensive stalwart Michigan State Spartans meet a Michigan offense that scores 42 points per game. It will be strength versus strength when Devin Gardner matches wits against Hank Bullough and the Spartan defense. When coupled with the freezing rain, this expects to be a low scoring game but a sold out Spartan Stadium will attempt to motivate Jeremy Langford and the run heavy offense. Paul Bunyan hangs in the balance so sit back, relax, and enjoy the 106th meeting of Michigan and Michigan State.
