Preview

The Wolverines defense made a statement last week in a 38-13 thumping of the Wisconsin Badgers. Michigan held Wisconsin to only 11 first downs and forced two turnovers in the victory. Although Wisconsin running back Jonathan Taylor ran for 101 yards, he was held in check as the Wolverines avoided big plays.

The Spartans made a statement of their own. Michigan State went into Happy Valley and stunned Penn State, handing the Nittany Lions their second straight loss. With 19 seconds remaining, quarterback Brian Lewerke tossed a 25-yard touchdown to Felton Davis for the go-ahead score.

Michigan ranks sixth in the nation in total defense, while Michigan State far behind at No. 28.

Key Matchup: Michigan running back Karan Higdon against the Spartans defense. Higdon ran for 105 yards and a touchdown against the Badgers last week. The Spartans are stingy against the run, allowing just 62.3 rushing yards per game, which is the best mark in the country.

Wolverines quarterback Shea Patterson played game manager against the Badgers – 12-for-21 for 124 yards – but he will have to make plays in order to secure the road win against their rivals, and help Jim Harbaugh earn his first victory against the school since arriving in Ann Arbor.
