The battle for the Paul Bunyan Trophy may be a little gloomier this year than normal. Michigan and Michigan State football have fallen short of preseason expectations through seven games, and both teams’ coaches find themselves on slightly warmer than normal seats.
Michigan fans were fed up with Sherrone Moore before beating Washington 24-7, but they’re ready to give him another chance, especially if he can turn the season back around.
Michigan State fans have seemingly given up on the Jonathan Smith era, especially after that 38-13 home loss to UCLA, but a win over Michigan can fix a lot.
