Checking Out the Enemy: Michigan

Notre Dame and Michigan. Two of the biggest rivals in all of sports, not just college football- although in college football there are probably only a handful of other rivalries that cause more of a stir. The two programs are set to do battle this Saturday, and you’d be wise to either get some tickets to the game, or make sure your favorite couch is going to be unoccupied for the whole afternoon, because this one ought to be good. Both teams enter the game not looking entirely sharp. The Irish struggled for most of their first game versus SDSU before eventually looking Irish and gaining a win. Michigan lost their opener to Utah and then barely beat Ohio (not State).

Even though Michigan and Notre Dame are the two winningest college football programs in history, one of them is going to lose this weekend. Will it be Michigan? According to their team report at CBS, they are going to start QB Steven Threet behind the center, but they aren’t all that set with him at the position. On offense the Wolverines have three injuries to check out. Take a look at the CBS Sports page about Michigan to get the scoop.
