Here’s how you can watch Saturday afternoon’s Michigan vs Michigan State game from East Lansing online.

Michigan has had quite the program turnaround over the past couple of years under the direction of Jim Harbaugh. In fact, the Wolverines are 7-0 and ranked No. 2 in the country this season with College Football Playoff on the line.

Wilton Speight has been a serviceable quarterback for the Wolverines much like Jake Rudock was last season, but it’s Michigan’s defense that has really put opponents on notice.

The defense and the ground game have been the Wolverines’ strong areas this season. Freshman Chris Evans leads all rushers with 416 yards and three touchdowns while De’Veon Smith and Karan Higdon are two other names to keep an eye on.

Michigan State, on the other hand, have had a rough start to the 2016 campaign. The Spartans are just 2-5 through seven games just one year removed from a College Football Playoff appearance and are huge underdogs at home in this one.

The quarterback situation between Tyler O’Connor and Brian Lewerke remains cloudy and the starter will be a game-time decision on Saturday. Lewerke might have more upside as a freshman, but O’Connor is a senior captain.

LJ Scott needs to get the run game going on Saturday in the offense is going to succeed. He is the team’s top back with 464 yards and three touchdowns. R.J. Shelton is another name to watch as the Spartans’ top wide out.
