After No. 3 Michigan’s 24-15 victory over No. 10 Penn State on Saturday, the chase for the Big Ten East crown will likely come down to a battle of unbeatens in The Game on Nov. 25.
The Wolverines took care of business in a defensive slugfest in State College, Pennsylvania, despite being without head coach Jim Harbaugh, who is serving a suspension from the Big Ten as a result of Michigan’s ongoing sign-stealing investigation. Michigan’s victory potentially sets up a de facto Big Ten East championship game between Ohio State and Michigan on Nov. 25, marking the third-straight season in which the winner of The Game would claim the divisional crown.
