Michigan State football's Ken Talley predicts Spartans to beat Wolverines in 2024 after MSU beats Maryland, Michigan falls to Texas
We're only two weeks into the 2024 college football season, and well over a month away from 'Hate Week' between Michigan and Michigan State, but that didn't stop one Spartan from mentioning the annual in-state rivalry game following the Week 2 results for both programs.
After Michigan State's 27-24 win over Maryland on Saturday, MSU redshirt sophomore defensive lineman Ken Talley took to Twitter and predicted a win over Michigan, who fell to Texas in lopsided fashion, 31-12."1 week at a time but FYI we bringing Paul back 100 #GoGreen," Talley wrote on Twitter, referencing the Paul Bunyan trophy that Michigan and Michigan State compete for every season.
This past weekend was of the sort Michigan State hasn't been able to enjoy much recently. It was the first time that the Spartans won a football game the same weekend the Wolverines' lost one in nearly three years. The last such occurrence came on Dec. 30-31, 2021 when Michigan State defeated Pittsburgh in the Peach Bowl and Michigan fell to Georgia in a College Football Playoff game at the Orange Bowl.
The last time MSU won a regular season game on the same weekend that U-M lost was two and a half seasons ago on Oct. 30, 2021 — when the Spartans defeated the Wolverines themselves, 37-33. Since that day, Michigan has compiled a 34-3 record with three Big Ten championships and a national championship. Michigan State, meanwhile, has gone a paltry 14-17 overall.
For the first time in 20 years, this season's meeting between Michigan and Michigan State will feature two first-year head coaches at their respective schools, Sherrone Moore at U-M and Jonathan Smith at MSU. The last time this rivalry was played with two new head coaches was 1995, when Nick Saban's Spartans defeated Lloyd Carr's Wolverines, 28-25. The only other occurrence came in 1929, when Michigan's Harry Kipke and the Wolverines defeated Jim Crowley and the Spartans, 17-0.
