#11 Michigan Wolverines at #23 Michigan State Spartans 12:00 PM EST ESPN

[PaperBoyx703]

MSU has had the Paul Bunyan Trophy in its possession for 3 years straight. Michigan goes into the East Lansing undefeated but still considered VERY "over-ranked" even by it's own fans.

Will Michigan continue their streak or will Sparty shake the Wolverines to reality?

Discussion. Score.

Denard protects the ball I see the Wolverines having a chance.

The Michigan fan in me says: Michigan 24 MSU 21

Should/Will be first real road test.

Gut Feeling: Michigan 14 MSU 31

Everyone keeps talking about Denard. But the real key is Kirk Cousins. He has looked abysmal this year. Denard will get his yards, at least 100 on the ground, and Michigan will put up some points. The question is can a senior QB and Senior receiving corps from MSU get on track and put up some points.

There hasn't been alot of smack talking this week from either side. Noone really knows what to expect.

I'll say MSU 31 Michigan 28 because its at home. Although I really wish this was a 3:30 or 8pm instead on noon. I really don't like to start drinking at 10am, but what can you do....

Yeah I would prefer it to be a later game also...I feel like this will be Cousins break out game and Cunningham will give the Michigan D problems.

I'm glad its an early game. I have an MMA show to judge Saturday evening.

I think Michigan will win this one.

I think they need to keep it simple of offense and just give Denard easy throws, if he starts chucking it up it could get ugly.

Though I think H, B & M(coaches last inital if you don't follow) have the team ready and focused, Michigan 35 - MSU 24

The problem is that MSU knows that, and they have a pretty good defense to counter.

I don't see Denard getting completely shut down, though. He'll sneak through the defense a few times, but it's going to be different than any other game.

My gut feeling is little brother takes 4 in a row.
