Aidan Hutchinson weighs in on who Michigan’s biggest rival is
Aidan Hutchinson got his fair share of big games in during his time at Michigan. He also was able to figure out which team was Michigan’s true rival after speaking to FOX Sports’ Charlotte Wilder.
Though he views the Ohio State as Michigan’s biggest rival, he recognizes the grittiness that comes with Michigan State. He credits the edge that comes with the game to the fact that it’s an in-state game.
“Definitely Ohio State, but I just think there is a dirtiness about Michigan State,” Hutchinson said. “Just the game is a little more dirtier than Ohio State. You’ve got two big teams clashing but Michigan State is an in-state game. Definitely gets a little messy.”
While there is a rich history in the Michigan-Michigan State rivalry, this season’s game might not be as competitive as typical meetings. The Wolverines are looking like one of the best teams in the country while Michigan State sits at the bottom of the B1G East.
The Wolverines and Spartans kickoff at 7:30 p.m. ET Saturday on ABC.
