No. 11 Oklahoma at Michigan Preview: Second game
Surprise, surprise — the Michigan Wolverines have found themselves in the national headlines once again, with the country rallied against the maize and blue, as is always the case. Michigan cannot be faulted for the Big Ten’s (but really, NBC’s) incompetence; it can, however, be criticized for a downright pathetic effort against Western last Saturday. […]

Urban Meyer gives his take on Michigan Football’s QB situation
Urban Meyer is talking. If you’re a fan of anyone that isn’t Ohio State or Florida, that’s a mildly concerning sentence. Despite being one of the most decorated college football coaches of the 21st century, Meyer is arguably just as known for his colorful personal life, rap sheet of ethical violations and deeply unpleasant personality […]

How to Watch: Michigan Football vs Oklahoma, other top games of Week 2
A Hail Mary was needed for the Michigan Wolverines to beat the Western Michigan Broncos on Saturday in one of the most surprising and controversial finishes in college football in Week 1.

Michigan Football’s edge depth could be key vs ‘one of the best’ OL in the country
In the aftermath of Michigan’s win over Western Michigan in Week 1, one of the stats getting the most attention has been the time-of-possession battle. The Broncos held the ball for roughly 40 minutes of game time, forcing the Wolverines’ defense to be on the field for the majority of the game and undoubtedly tiring […]
Everything you need to know about Michigan Football’s new ‘Rhino’ position
Michigan fans didn’t have to wait long to see just how serious Jason Beck was about bringing the “Rhino” role with him to Ann Arbor. In the season opener against Western Michigan, offensive lineman Manuel Beigel played 26 of Michigan’s 51 total offensive plays as the Rhino, so this clearly isn’t just a short-yardage gimmick. […]
3 bold predictions for Michigan Football vs Oklahoma
Well, the first game of the Kyle Whittingham era is in the books, and the Michigan Wolverines are 1-0. I expected to write that sentence when this week arrived, but I think that is the only thing that happened on Saturday that was expected. While Michigan put on an absolute disgrace of an offensive show, […]

Michigan Football expected to expand edge rusher rotation vs Oklahoma
Western Michigan controlled the ball for more than 40 minutes last weekend. For Michigan run game coordinator and defensive ends coach Lewis Powell, he sees the positives of more playing time and drawbacks of his guys not being as fresh from a defensive perspective — equating the situation to that of a bunch of firemen. […]
Why this freshman can fill L.J. Cason’s shoes for Michigan Basketball
Coming off a national championship, the only player in Michigan’s rotation to transfer out this offseason was guard L.J. Cason, who left Michigan for Miami following the departure of Dusty May.

Michigan QB Bryce Underwood reacts to Kyle Whittingham’s comments on starting status
After a Week 1 performance that left a lot to be desired from Michigan quarterback Bryce Underwood, his status as Michigan’s starter isn’t entirely firm moving forward.

Michigan’s defense has a tall task on Saturday afternoon — containing dual-threat Oklahoma quarterback John Mateer.

For Michigan defensive end Dom Nichols, he hopes his presence will help provide a different […]

The Michigan football team held a player-led meeting on Sunday following the narrow 13-12 win over Western Michigan on a controversial final Hail Mary.

Why the run game will be decisive for both Michigan and Oklahoma
Though both sides of the ball were working just fine for the Oklahoma Sooners against UTEP, it is not controversial at all to claim that both defenses will the the stronger units when the Michigan Wolverines host Brent Venables’ team this Saturday. SP+ has the Sooners’ defense sixth-best after Week 1, and while the metric […]
Oklahoma HC Brent Venables still holding Michigan in ‘high regard’ after ugly Week 1
It wasn’t the Week 1 Michigan was hoping for, with a narrow last-second win over Western Michigan, but the focus must change quickly as the Wolverines prepare for Oklahoma to come to town this weekend. The rematch with the Sooners has been widely anticipated since an underwhelming 24-13 loss in Norman last season, with many […]
Michigan Football must fix a broken run game before it’s too late
There were a ton of things head coach Kyle Whittingham said the Michigan Wolverines must fix following an ugly 13-12 win over Western Michigan in the season opener, but getting the running game on track has to be at the top of that list. “We didn’t run the ball well enough at all,” Whittingham told […]
