One of college football’s best rivalries returns today as Michigan State plays host to Michigan.

The Spartans are looking to get their season turned around after a shocking 2-5 start has them on the verge of missing out on a bowl berth. They are coming off a 27-18 loss at Maryland last Saturday.

The second-ranked Wolverines moved into first place in the Big Ten East Division last week with a 41-8 win at home over Illinois. They enter this week’s game undefeated and in prime position to make it to the College Football Playoff, so MSU would love nothing more than to spoil those hopes with a big win today.

Thanks everyone for joining us for today’s game thread. Here is everything you’ll need to watch and follow the game.
