It looks like the Michigan football team has itself a new 
quarterback. Brandon Peters finally got meaningful game time 
against Rutgers, and he didn’t disappoint — throwing for 124 
yards and a touchdown. While Jim Harbaugh wouldn’t say Peters 
will definitively start against Minnesota, the redshirt freshman 
will still have a chance to help the Wolverines hang on to the 
Little Brown Jug.

Will Minnesota burn Michigan on a direct 
snap? That and other things to watch for.

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): Michigan should get an 
assist for Barkley’s Heisman.

Rutgers (Oct. 28): At this rate Rutgers will beat 
Michigan by 36 points next season.

Minnesota (Nov. 5): P.J. 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): Jeff Brohm probably had 
better facilities at Western Kentucky.

Michigan State (Oct. 7): The Michigan Daily 
has beaten the State News 13 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.
