What Michigan and Colorado lack in years of memories on the
football field, they make up for in drama. The two met for one of
the wildest finishes in college football history when the Buffaloes
stunned Michigan on a last-second Hail Mary in 1994. This time
around, Colorado has struggled as a program but appears to be
on the upswing. We’ll see how far they’ve come on Saturday.

Colorado has some weapons, but the
Wolverines still have the advantage.
Hawaii (Sept. 3): Alohahahahaha.
Central Florida (Sept. 10): Is that what it looks
like to get outhit?
Illinois (Oct. 22): No matter what happens
on the field, both teams will (hopefully) take
Champaign showers.
Michigan State (Oct. 29): It’s setting up to be
the most exciting Michigan-Michigan State
game in years.
Maryland (Nov. 5): Congratulations, DJ Khaled
Durkin, you played yourself.
Colorado (Sept. 17): Buffaloes? Plurals are
hard.
Iowa (Nov. 12): With a win, Kirk Ferentz receives
ANOTHER contract extension with a special
clause that names him lifetime governor of Iowa.
Penn State (Sept. 24): Michigan deserves a real
opponent — Pittsburgh.
Wisconsin (Oct. 1): We were going to try and be
funny, but the dumplings in Madison are no joke.
Rutgers (Oct. 8): The Ahmir Mitchell Bowl.
Ohio State (Nov. 26): Who schedules a game
two days after Thanksgiving? No one’s gonna go
to that.
Indiana (Nov. 19): We’re here for the chaos.
We’re always there for the chaos.
