The Wolverines are hoping to change that come Saturday night when they host the Spartans at night. This game will be the second time Michigan has played MSU at night in the Big House.
For the second straight year, Michigan is out to a 7-0 start, while Michigan State is looking to get back to .500 after going 3-4 after the first seven games of the season.
Usually, a big key to this game is the run game. In the past 46 out of 52 games, the winner has had more rushing yards than the losing team. Last season, Kenneth Walker ran all over the Wolverines, and on Saturday, Blake Corum is hoping to do the same.

It really helped the hype for this game that MSU was able to end their losing streak and get the win versus Wisconsin heading into the bye week, without that, it would be pretty bleak heading into this one against a Michigan team that has one of their best offenses under Harbaugh, perhaps their best period. I think the nature of this rivalry leads both teams to feel like they have a good chance, no matter what the records are, but this is definitely a daunting task, and heading into it, reminds me more of 2019 than 2020, but you never know what can happen with this rivalry game.
