McDonough is on the call again at Michigan Stadium for Saturday's game, which airs on WXYZ. He says in a rivalry game such as this one, fans can sometimes expect the unexpected. McDonough said the key for Michigan will be on defense as this will be one of their truest tests, while Michigan State will have to rely heavily on their playmakers on offense.
