Michigan State Reveals Uniform Combo for Rivalry Game vs. Michigan

In this story:
Thursday is uniform reveal day for Michigan State football. This week's unveiling is probably the most anticipated of the year, since the Spartans released what threads they will be wearing in the annual rivalry game against Michigan.
That evening, MSU football's social media account posted a video featuring Nick Marsh, who was wearing green helmets, green jerseys, and green pants. It's the exact same combo that Kenneth Walker III scored five touchdowns in.

A Quick Look at the Wolverines

UM is seeking its fourth consecutive win in this rivalry. So far this season, the Wolverines have gone 5-2 overall and 3-1 during Big Ten play. Both losses came on the road, against Oklahoma and USC.
Last week, Michigan got a solid, 24-7 home victory over Washington. UM outscored the Huskies 17-zip during the second half and out-rushed them 187-40 for the whole game.
The Wolverines are currently in the middle of their second season with Sherrone Moore as the head coach. When MSU's Jonathan Smith and UM's Moore met up last season as first-year coaches, Michigan squeaked out a 24-17 win in Ann Arbor.

UM's defense is the Wolverines' strongest side of the ball in terms of scoring. Michigan is allowing 17.0 points per game this season, which ranks 17th nationally.
Some standouts for the Wolverines are linebacker Cole Sullivan, who has three interceptions and two sacks this year; defensive end Derrick Moore, who leads the team with 4.5 sacks; and Ernest Hausmann, who leads UM with 47 total tackles.
Offensively, Michigan is quarterbacked by true freshman Bryce Underwood, the No. 1 overall recruit in the class of 2025, according to 247Sports, On3, and ESPN.
Running back Justice Haynes is elite, rushing for 705 yards and eight touchdowns in eight games. UM's top receiver is Donaven McCulley, who has 369 receiving yards and two touchdowns.
