Jim Harbaugh’s first win as coach came last week against Oregon
State. Now, against an inferior foe, his Wolverines look to defend
Michigan Stadium once again in Saturday’s game against UNLV.
The Rebels, led by first-year coach Tony Sanchez, have struggled
in the early going. Saturday will be a chance for Michigan to
prove its days of struggling against lesser opponents are over.

The Daily breaks down Michigan’s
advantage in Saturday’s matchup.
Utah (Sept. 3): Well, at least the mountains
were cool?
Oregon State (Sept. 12): Imagine how Jim
Harbaugh would have freaked out if Michigan
lost.
Michigan State (Oct. 17): These teams play a
week earlier than last year, which Mark Danto-
nio will take as a sign of blatant disrespect.
Minnesota (Oct. 31): Plot twist: Michigan plays
Minnesota for the Little Orange Pumpkin.
Rutgers (Nov. 7): Will Michigan fans storm the
field if the Wolverines avenge last year’s loss in
Piscataway? We hope not.
UNLV (Sept. 19): Did you mean the University
of Nevada-Loss Vegas?
Indiana (Nov. 14): Boring state. Hopefully not a
boring game.
BYU (Sept. 26): We don’t know who will score
more points, but we do know who will leave the
game with more wives.
Maryland (Oct. 3): Rumor has it, if you stare at
Maryland’s state flag for too long, you become
absorbed into the pattern.
Northwestern (Oct. 10): Are you ready for
M00N pt. 2: N00M?
Ohio State (Nov. 28): We wanted to make a
joke, but the only one we could think of was,
“Haha, your backup QB might win the Heisman.”
Penn State (Nov. 21): Christian Hackenberg
could be a first-round pi — aaand, he just got
sacked again.
