The Michigan football team’s matchup against Cincinnati didn’t
end up as lopsided as many expected, but the Wolverines still
notched a 36-14 victory. Next up is Air Force — a team famous
for running the unconventional triple-option offense. The unique
playing style could make them a test for this young Michigan team,
but the Wolverines are looking to enter Big Ten play undefeated.

The Daily breaks down how Air Force
stacks up against the Wolverines.
Florida (Sept. 2): ***Jaws theme song***
Cincinnati (Sept. 9): The Bearcats are the only
team from Ohio that almost won last week.
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.
