Orji Leads Michigan to Victory Over Spartans

The Michigan Wolverines defeated the Michigan State Spartans 24-17, with backup quarterback Alex Orji playing a pivotal role by exploiting the Spartans' run defense. Despite Michigan's struggles with quarterback consistency, Orji's running ability was crucial in securing the win. Michigan State's defense performed well against Michigan's main running backs but could not contain Orji's decisive plays. The Spartans started strong with a 7-0 lead but faltered later due to mistakes and red zone inefficiencies. This loss marks Michigan State's third consecutive defeat to Michigan and reflects ongoing challenges in their season. As they prepare for Indiana, the Spartans face being underdogs at home for the first time in years, highlighting the difficulties they must overcome to regain their footing.
