Michigan’s days of easy wins at Michigan Stadium are over,
for now. No. 23 Brigham Young visits Ann Arbor this weekend
in search of a third win on a grueling early schedule. The
Wolverines stand in the way, looking to keep their running game
rolling and round out their non-conference slate with a third
straight victory.

The Daily breaks down what should be a
closely contested matchup Saturday.
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): More like 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.
