The Michigan football team’s season opener lived up to the hype,
as the Wolverines defeated then-No. 17 Florida, 33-17. Next up is
a Cincinnati team that struggled mightily against Austin Peay in
its season opener. The Bearcats figure to be another tune-up for a
Michigan team entering the easiest part of its schedule. It would
take more than a few breaks to put Cincinnati in contention.

The Daily breaks down how the
Wolverines will fare against the Bearcats.
Florida (Sept. 2): ***Jaws theme song***
Cincinnati (Sept. 9): What even is a bearcat? A
bear? A cat? Why not a catbear?
Penn State (Oct. 21): *Types...deletes...
types...* Yeah, that’s off limits too.
Rutgers (Oct. 28): If you’re reading this from
the hot tub in the student section at Rutgers,
you should go to the doctor.
Minnesota (Nov. 5): PJ.. Fleck-Harbaugh is the
next Mayweather-McGregor.
Air Force (Sept. 16): Air Force was my safety
school. (But really thank you for your service.)
Maryland (Nov. 11): You don’t live in D.C., stop
saying that.
Purdue (Sept. 23): This game should be a
*clears throat* STREET FIGHT BETWEEN THE
WHISTLES!
Michigan State (Oct. 7): The Michigan Daily
has beaten the State News 12 years in a row.
Indiana (Oct. 14): Hoosier? I barely know her.
Ohio State (Nov. 25): We finally found some-
one who loves college more than Asher Roth:
tenth-year senior J.T. Barrett.
Wisconsin (Nov. 18): I brought my tent to
Camp Randall and was wildly disappointed.
