The Michigan football team dropped its season opener to Notre 
Dame, falling to the No. 12 Fighting Irish, 24-17. Since then, the 
Wolverines have rolled through their next nine games undefeated. 
Now ranked fourth, Michigan will host the Hoosiers in its final home 
game of the 2018 season. After that, the Wolverines will travel two 
hours south to Columbus, where they’ll face Ohio State in their final 
game before the postseason.

Chris Partridge has grown comfortable in 
his role on Michigan’s coaching staff.

Notre Dame (Sept. 1): Touchdown Jesus? 
Where is Touchdown Moses?

Western Michigan (Sept. 8): Row the NOPE! 
(please don’t sue us PJ)

Wisconsin (Oct. 13): There’s no “I” in Chryst.

Michigan State (Oct. 20): The Michigan Daily 
has beaten the State News 14 years in a row.

Penn State (Nov. 3): James Franklin? More like 
a really bad football coach.
SMU (Sept. 15): More like Methodisn’t

Rutgers (Nov. 10): Isiah Pacheco for Heisman.
Nebraska (Sept. 22): Nebraska is undeniably 
the worst state to drive through. 

Northwestern (Sept. 29): No. No one cares 
that you went to Medill. Crawl back in your hole. 

Maryland (Oct. 6): Leave it to a coach with the 
last name CANADA to lead a team that is *kind 
of* good but mostly irrelevant. 

Ohio State (Nov. 24): Brett XcXurphy

Indiana (Nov. 17): We spent 5 minutes debat-
ing who their coach was.
