Summary
Following our typical 2-4-7 format, we break down two game balls, four key takeaways and answer seven questions stemming from the matchup.
Our game balls are rather obvious, and serve as the first time both game balls went to members of Michigan’s passing game. We discuss the two players’ career games, and what it means.
Our takeaways are more opponent-specific than usual, but we look at Michigan State’s meteoric decline from its peak in 2013-15, why maybe fans shouldn’t read too much into Michigan’s success Saturday and the recruiting impact a dominant win in the rivalry can have.
Our questions tackle both big picture and smaller topics surrounding the team. We debate Michigan’s win over Notre Dame vs. its win over Michigan State in terms of changing perception, look at the Spartans’ conservative game plan, ponder if Michigan has an issue throwing the ball too low, discuss if the Wolverines can still have a “successful” season, look at Michigan’s kicking improvements, the offense’s preparedness against Ohio State and which oft-criticized player made fans eat their words the most.

| 0:41.1 | to look like the defense. |

| 1:06.0 | obvious for number one. I'll let you take it. Who are you picking? |
| 1:10.5 | It's got to be Patterson. I thought it was his |
| 1:12.9 | best game as a Wolverine yesterday. And, you know, regardless of the level of opponent, because |
| 1:19.6 | you know what, like I, I think, you know, Michigan State just not really good. But, you know, |
| 1:26.4 | Patterson made a lot of very difficult throws yesterday. |
