The numbers call this a true toss-up — Michigan ranks #1 nationally vs. #3 for Michigan St., so expect a competitive game.
Michigan brings a top-1 offense nationally (4.53 goals/game), which will challenge any defense.
Michigan St.'s defense is elite — top-2 nationally, allowing just 2.14 goals per game.
Michigan's potent offense (OE #1) runs into Michigan St.'s stingy defense (DE #2) — could be a low-scoring battle.
