It’s not going to be easy, but if Michigan State football is going to pull off a shocking upset of Michigan, it needs to do these three things.
The Spartans have a daunting task in front of them as they prepare to travel to Ann Arbor to face the thirteenth-ranked Wolverines this Saturday. Michigan is favored to win by more than 24 points. This matchup could be frightening to watch and not just because it falls on Halloween.
Rivalry games do bring out the best in everyone though (and we’ve come to expect the unexpected whenever the Paul Bunyan Trophy is on the line) so there’s a sliver of hope that if MSU can focus on dictating the following game elements, they will give themselves a fighting chance to shock the world.
