Nobody on the Michigan State roster is unclear of what this week means. When Michigan is the next team up on the schedule, things change. Ordinary is hardly the overriding feeling. “The energy out there feels a little different, because we know what it means,” linebacker Joe Bachie said. “The coaches know what it means. Coach (Mark Dantonio) is a little bit more on edge. We’re going to prepare the same way, but we know what it is in the back of our head. We know what game this is.”
