Michigan Football Edges Michigan State 24-17

In a dramatic rivalry matchup, Michigan defeated Michigan State 24-17, marking their third consecutive win over the Spartans. Michigan overcame a shaky start, benefiting from a crucial late turnover by MSU's quarterback Aidan Chiles, which allowed the Wolverines to take the lead before halftime. Despite a strong performance from MSU's Nate Carter, who had 118 rushing yards and a touchdown, the Spartans struggled in the red zone, failing to convert key scoring opportunities. The loss highlighted Michigan State's ongoing issues with capitalizing on drives, ranking among the worst in college football for red zone efficiency. Michigan's disciplined play, characterized by no penalties and solid ball security, ultimately led to their victory despite an unremarkable offensive outing. As MSU falls to 4-4, they must regroup quickly ahead of their next game against Indiana.
