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.
