COLLEGE FOOTBALL: NOV 16 Michigan State at Michigan Photo by Scott W. Grau/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images

The Michigan State football team is looking to win its ninth game out of the last 15 in this series. MSU has won four of the last six in Ann Arbor over the Michigan Wolverines, including a rain soaked 2017 win and a stunning last second punt return win in 2015.

First year head coach Mel Tucker will hope to rebound from MSU’s disappointing home opener loss to Rutgers. It will also mark Coach Tucker’s return to the in-state rivalry game for the first time since a 29-17 loss in Ann Arbor in 1998 when he was a graduate assistant under then head coach Nick Saban. Coach Tucker was also present in 1997 when then No. 14 MSU lost to eventual co-national champion, then No. 5 Michigan in East Lansing 23-7.

Michigan State Spartans (0-1) at Michigan Wolverines (1-0)
