Michigan looking to reboundAngelique S. Chengelis / The Detroit News
ANN ARBOR -- Sure, Saturday's game for the Wolverines is about keeping the Paul Bunyan Trophy comfortably ensconced in the confines of Schembechler Hall.
Beating Michigan State this year weighs the same as it does any year at Michigan -- this is for state bragging rights, after all -- but perhaps this year it carries a bit more weight for the Wolverines.
They are 2-5 overall, riding a three-game losing streak, including a 46-17 drubbing at third-ranked Penn State on Saturday, and enter the Michigan State game at Michigan Stadium as underdogs.
Yes, this might be for the state championship, but the Wolverines want something more. They want to resuscitate a season that has gone downhill quickly. They need a jump start for these final five games and need to win at least four to become bowl eligible, or Michigan will see its streak of 33 bowl games come to an end.
