Michigan will have one of its biggest recruiting weekends of the season Saturday when No. 11 Oklahoma comes to the Big House.
There is a version of Saturday where Western Michigan ends up being the best thing that could have happened to this team. Not because needing a Hail Mary to survive a MAC opponent was somehow good. It wasn’t. The value would be in what happened after it.
Michigan's first game gave us plenty to work with. The second one should tell us a lot more.
Oklahoma is a different test, and the numbers around this matchup point to a game that looks a lot more uncomfortable than the opener. The Sooners are expected to move the ball. John Mateer is expected to make plays. Michigan probably isn't winning this one because Bryce Underwood throws for 350 yards and the Wolverines cruise.
Justin Roh and Joel Honigford discuss Michigan’s win over WMU, give their thoughts on Clock Gate, then break down Michigan’s matchup with Oklahoma.
The encouraging part of Michigan’s season opener was not simply that Dom Nichols had the best game of his career.
It was how he did it.
Kyle Whittingham said Monday that Underwood is Michigan’s quarterback “right now,” made it clear the job is not untouchable, and said eventually every position reaches a point where the staff has to consider alternatives if it isn’t getting the level of play it needs.
Michigan quarterback Bryce Underwood met with reporters Wednesday as the Wolverines prepare for Saturday’s matchup with Oklahoma at Michigan Stadium.
The Mid-American Conference may believe Western Michigan should have beaten Michigan on Saturday night, but the NCAA says there is no mechanism to turn that belief into a different result.
The strangest Michigan win in recent memory somehow got even stranger Tuesday.
Two days after accepting the Big Ten’s explanation for the controversial final second of Michigan’s 13-12 win over Western Michigan, the Mid-American Conference has completely reversed course.
Michigan survived Western Michigan, but the more useful question now is what from that game actually carries forward. The Wolverines have a much different test coming Saturday against Oklahoma, and a few of the strongest individual performances from Week 1 came at positions Michigan desperately needed to feel better about entering the season.
