Here's what the MSU coach had to say about the Wolverines.
It's rivalry week. Michigan will host one of its bitter rivals on Saturday night when Michigan State comes to town. The Wolverines have won the past two contests against the Spartans and hold a 73-38-5 all-time record against MSU -- but this is a new era of the rivalry.
Sherrone Moore has replaced Jim Harbaugh and former Oregon State coach Jonathan Smith is in his first year as the Spartans' head coach. Both teams will enter the week at 4-3. The Wolverines had their worst performance of 2024 after falling to Illinois while MSU put its bye week to good use and took down Iowa last weekend.Opening statement:
Moving forward, we've got a huge week in front of us. We all know, this thing is special. Rivalry week in this state, this is what college football is about. It's a big, meaningful game. Anticipate it being a tough, physical, big challenge Saturday at their place and we're looking forward to — we're going to have to have a great week of work and preparation leading into this one.
