ANN ARBOR, MI — It’s rivalry week as undefeated Michigan hosts Michigan State in the battle for the Paul Bunyan Trophy this weekend.
Michigan will be looking to improve its record to 8-and-0 this season against a Spartan team that has struggled so far this year. But the Spartans are hoping to continue their recent success over Michigan. The so-called “little brother” has won each of the last two meetings with their in-state rivals and 10 of the last 14 meetings.
Ahead of the Michigan State vs. Michigan game, police are vowing to keep things safe for fans. With more than 112,000 people in the stadium and even more around town, police say they will be busy.
It will be a good day for tailgating with clear skies and temps in the low 60s at kick off, which is set for 7:30 p.m. The game will be broadcast on ABC-TV.
