After a 78-0 trouncing of Rutgers and a bye week, the Michigan
football team is heading back to the Big House for Homecoming.
In a building where they have outscored their opponents by a
combined score of 222-62, the Wolverines are a five-touchdown
favorite again. Up this week: an Illinois team coming off its first
Big Ten win of the season at Rutgers.

Michigan has the edge in every phase in its
first matchup with Illinois since 2012.
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): Colorado figured scoring
28 would be plenty.
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): Might need to rename
Happy Valley soon.
Wisconsin (Oct. 1): Jourdan Lewis typed this
joke with one hand.
Rutgers (Oct. 8): That’s it. That’s the joke.
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 here for the chaos.
