On October 10, 1908, the Aggies played Michigan to a scoreless tie in East Lansing. It was the fourth game in the Michigan–Michigan State football rivalry, and Michigan had won the three prior meetings by a combined score of 204 to 0. The game was played in front of 6,000 spectators at East Lansing's College Field, and the Aggies' fans "went wild with delight" when the game ended.[6] In Ann Arbor, the result was met with disbelief among Michigan fans who had expected an easy win.[7] The Detroit Free Press called it "the greatest game of football ever seen in this part of the state."[6] The Michigan Alumnus noted that Michigan's line was weak with Germany Schulz, Maurice Crumpacker and William Casey out of the game and opined that the Wolverines were outplayed and would have been defeated had it not been for Dave Allerdice repeatedly punting out of danger[8][9]
