It is finally here, folks. The big one for bragging rights in the whole state of Michigan (at least until basketball season)! The No. 6 Michigan Wolverines (7-0, 4-0) come back to East Lansing for the first time since 2018 to take on the No. 7/8 Michigan State Spartans (7-0, 4-0) in the annual battle for the Paul Bunyan – Governor of Michigan Trophy.
The Wolverines are more than halfway through year seven of the Jim Harbaugh era in Ann Arbor. The former quarterback for the Wolverines turned program savior in 2015 as he assumed the reins for the first season as head coach has struggled to live up to expectations, however.
