MOGOBLUE: MI vs MI State

Saturday, in Ann Arbor, at the Big House the Spartans of MI State face the Wolverines in possibly the most anticipated game of the season.

Both teams are ranked (17th and 18th respectively) unbeaten and bringing with them to the realization that this one game alone could make,or break the season.

This battle of the Paul Bunyan trophy it will be the 58th time the two teams will hope to being home the trophy since State entered the Big Ten in 1953. Currently, the Wolverines hold a 34-21-2 advantage in the series. The weather should be perfect this weekend and the Big House will be swelling with pride as well as people creating a spectical that only 100,0000 people crammed into a single stadium can create.

There has been no lack of commentary this week on both sides. The Denard hype machine has been in full force with Heisman rumors lighting up twitter and the interweb like a Christmas tree soaked in napalm. MI surley knows that is is the best team they have faced so far and it will take more than the offense to win this game. The defense must step up and make some stops. On the other hand State hope to be able to cut through the hype and step up to the challenge and prove the have an offense AND a defense that can stand up to Denard and the yard making machine that is currently the Michigan Wolverinies.

This Saturday, in AnnArbor, I expect a great contest. Fall will take the day off and summer like tempatures will pour into the valley creating the best of all possible weather for the meeting of these two rival schools My prediction is Michigan will prevail in another high scoring shootout: 42-35.

GO BLUE!
