Michigan will undoubtedly continue to say this is just like any other rivalry week against the Michigan State Spartans. But at this point Jim Harbaugh has to be taking Mel Tucker a little personally.

Since joining the Spartans in 2020, Tucker has led Michigan State to two straight wins over Harbaugh's Wolverines, including Michigan's only loss last season en route to a playoff berth. While making college football's biggest tournament undoubtedly assuages a Halloween loss, there's no question the thought of beating Michigan State and Ohio State in the same season is tantalizing to the Wolverines.

Michigan is coming off by far its most impressive win so far this year, a 41-17 drubbing of Penn State at the Big House. It now turns its attention to MSU, once again at home, as it looks to continue its undefeated season to date.

Michigan State, meanwhile, is hoping its misfortunes are over. It just snapped a four-game losing streak, three to Big Ten opponents and all by double digits, with an overtime win over Wisconsin.

The Spartans will be looking for some consistency from Payton Thorne, who just played an excellent game against the Badgers. He'll now see one of the toughest defenses in the country in Michigan. J.J. McCarthy, meanwhile, will try to carry over his momentum from the Penn State win while Michigan leans on its two-headed monster of Donovan Edwards and Blake Corum in the running game.

Here's how you can tune in and watch the Big Ten meeting between the Wolverines and Spartans:
