Fade it if you want but this is an incredibly difficult spot for the Wolverines. Two freshman QBs playing their first road game, in a rivalry game, against a team that takes the rivalry much more seriously.
State's 1-3 and this is undeniably their season. If they lose this game, not only will their bowl chances be shot, but their season will automatically be a failure because they lost to Michigan.
Michigan's secondary is porous; they have walk-on safeties starting (Kovackz), corners getting benched (Cissoko), linebackers that can't tackle (Mouton), and a defensive line that hasn't gotten a pass rush in two games.
Throwing the ball is one of the few things the Spartans do well, and they'll shread a Michigan secondary that's been super lucky not to have been entirely exposed yet.
