There's no mistaking it. The Michigan Wolverines are flying high with a 7-0 record and a No. 4 national ranking. Michigan State is 3-4 and recently ended a four-game losing streak with an overtime win over Wisconsin.
But this in-state rivalry has produced some great games over the year, especially the last 14 years, with the Spartans owning a 10-4 advantage in that stretch, including a number of wins where they were the Vegas underdog.
Can MSU pull it off again and derail the Wolverines' dreams of a national title? Lansing State Journal columnist Graham Couch, Detroit Free Press beat writer Chris Solari and host Phil Friend preview Saturday's game.
