Can't recall this game ever being more blah. Maybe 2012, but after 4 straight losses, a mid-UM actually sort of cared this year. I've heard a couple MSU fans say they hope to lose, because they don't want a meaningless win to save Johnathan Smith.
This used to be a game you could count on MSU playing over their head. It's been a while since that was true. 2017 is probably the lone example in the last 25 years. Over the past 25 years I'd say the better team has won 24 of 25. It's actually been largely uninteresting as far as upsets go.
Might be closeish for a half, but that's about it
Michigan 31, Michigan State 18
