Mel Tucker knows the importance of this rivalry game with Michigan more than anyone. This could be the game to determine who holds on to the lead in the B1G East. No. 5 Ohio State, No. 6 Michigan, and No. 8 Michigan State all have undefeated conference records with just a few weeks left in the regular season.

Tucker released a video on Thursday reminding Michigan State fans to be on their best behavior with College GameDay and FOX Big Noon Kickoff coming to town.

The video was posted by Michigan State’s football account.

The Spartans will need their fans to be loud as possible in East Lansing if they want to remain undefeated. Michigan has owned the series with a 71-37 record against Michigan State all-time. The Spartans were able to steal a win in Ann Arbor last year, but will have fans in attendance this time around.

No. 8 Michigan State (7-0) and No. 6 Michigan (7-0) battle for Paul Bunyan Trophy Saturday at 12 p.m. ET on Fox.
