The 2023 rendition of the bout between the Michigan Wolverines and the Michigan State Spartans is upon us. Not much has changed for the maize and blue since the last time these two teams met, but the other side has gone through quite a bit.
Over the last 12 months, Michigan State lost its starting quarterback and leading receiver from last season to the transfer portal. Head coach Mel Tucker was also caught in a scandal this fall which saw him being removed from his title with the program. Since then, the Spartans have lost four straight games heading into their biggest game of the year against their in-state rival.
