When it comes to Michigan football against Michigan State, you can't get wrapped up in style points. It's always ugly.
There was that 49-0 domination by the 2023 team, but that was one of the best teams in Michigan history. This 2025 Michigan football team is still finding itself.
The Wolverines haven't reached their ceiling. With four games to go, that's an exciting thought. They are finding ways to win, though.
At the start of the season, it was obvious that Michigan would need to win on the road to have a chance at the College Football Playoff.
