Michigan-Michigan State was an interesting one.
As it always is. But when the Wolverines were in the top 10 and Spartans are in the top 25, it makes the matchup that much more intriguing.
Before the game, unfortunate festivities took place, which resulted in a fine being issued toward Michigan State. Among all the craziness was FOX Sports’ Joel Klatt calling the game.
On Wednesday, Klatt talked a bit about Michigan’s dominating 21-7 victory:
"Michigan thoroughly dominated Michigan State."

Like Klatt said, the score of 21-7 was probably not indicative of what took place. Michigan had 395 total yards in the game. Michigan State had just 94.
The Wolverines dominated in every way possible and a 14-point differential doesn’t show that. Klatt ended by talking about Michigan QB Shea Patterson and how if he ends up making big plays — by getting outside the pocket — teams should “watch out.”
Michigan had a bye in Week 9 and will play Penn State on Nov. 3.
