Michigan RB Savion Hiter Makes Eye-Opening Comment About Michigan State Rivalry

Michigan freshman running back Savion Hiter has expressed his anticipation for the upcoming Michigan-Michigan State rivalry game in a surprising statement. Following Michigan's 28-21 win over Rutgers, Hiter commented on the heated rivalry between the Wolverines and Spartans, stating, "All I know is it’s a dirty game." The freshman, preparing for his first matchup against Michigan State, emphasized that he must "nut up and just take every hit that I get" amid the intense physicality expected in the rivalry.

While Hiter didn't name any specific Michigan State player, his comments highlight his understanding of the highly physical nature of the matchup. With a strong performance against Rutgers, where he carried the ball 20 times and played a key role in the game-winning fourth quarter, Hiter is likely to be a major factor in the upcoming clash.

The Wolverines, currently at 5-3, face Michigan State, who are 2-6, in a game that could be crucial for both teams' standings and the Paul Bunyan Trophy. With Michigan holding a four-game lead in their recent meetings, the Spartans will be eager to break the streak. Hiter's candid assessment adds a layer of intensity to a matchup already steeped in emotion, suggesting that this will be more than just another college football game for the freshman.
