The Michigan football team will return home to host the Michigan State Spartans at the Big House. Here’s how you can find the rivalry game on TV or streaming online.

The Michigan football team hosts the in-state rival Michigan State Spartans at Michigan Stadium on Saturday night.

The Wolverines won last year’s meeting, but it was only their second win in the series since Mike Hart‘s infamous “little brother” comments following the 2007 matchup. Will Michigan be able to put together back-to-back wins over the Spartans for the first time since 2006 and 2007?

If they hope to do that they’ll have to ride quarterback John O’Korn who took over for Wilton Speight in the win over Purdue. Speight has been ruled out for now, but it seems likely that O’Korn would have remained the starter anyway after last week’s success.

Michigan State will be able to game plan for the erstwhile backup but Michigan will likely tailor their playbook to better fit O’Korn’s style. He’s more athletic and mobile than Speight, so the Wolverines could look to more roll out passes and designed quarterback runs to keep the defense on their toes.

As usual, however, Michigan will rely on their dominant defense to carry the game. Michigan State plays more of a pro-style offense than most teams in college football, but defensive coordinator Don Brown has proven that he can dial up a defense to solve any problem set before him.

Here’s all the information you’ll need to find the game on TV or streaming online.
