Michigan and Michigan State will meet this week for the first time since last year’s tunnel incident, which saw the two sides brawl at Michigan Stadium. After the game, several Michigan State players were caught on camera attacking a Michigan player as the two teams were headed to their respective locker rooms, forcing police to get involved.
Although most players are returning from last year, Michigan is solely focused on winning the game. Running back Blake Corum said they are approaching the game like a normal rivalry while trying not to think about last year.
“Saturday we’ll go in there and just handle business like always, like we have the past couple games,” he said, via Alejandro Zuniga of 247 Sports. “We’re not going to hold a grudge on what happened last year.”
