This weekend the news is about the game(s), PERIOD!
Michigan State overcame all kinds of pre-game 'mess' to beat 17th-ranked Illinois on the road. For the record, the final score was Spartans 23 - Illini 15.
The University of Michigan was also on the road, under the lights in New Jersey to play Rutgers. The Wolverines turned the game into a rout late by a 52-17 score.
