Miracles are possible, especially if Wolverines are overconfident

The biggest worry for Michigan going into this game is taking the Spartans seriously, which I have no doubt they will do. But they are huge favorites and it would be easy to overlook MSU a little.

That’s one way that the Spartans can have a chance in this game. If Michigan football isn’t quite ready and makes some early mistakes or has a turnover, it could lead to a close game and a much tougher job of beating the Spartans.

The first game for a head coach in a rivalry is always important and you can bet that Tucker wants to make a better impression than he did a week ago. So even though it would be stunning if the Spartans pulled the upset, it’s a rivalry game and won’t be a walk in the park.

No Michigan fan needs a reminder of the some of the crazy wins Michigan State has pulled out in this series, including the “trouble with the snap” game, as well as the phantom clock game.
