Connecticut Huskies play Michigan Wolverines. It's the first game of the new season for the Wolverine quarterback, Jacob McCarthy. The offensive line is still a work in progress. Blake Corum has already had 164 yards and two touchdowns on 22 carries. The team has not looked convincing against the run game. They play the conference games. Michigan has spread the playmakers around so much that there's not a standout player. UConn has had a little rust.

The defensive starters have seen some action for Michigan. The team needs more reliable options. Mike Sainristil and Makari Paige are two players who can be reliable in the defensive backfield. Michael Barrett is a middle linebacker. Freshmen will continue to get plenty of attention. Derrick Moore, Will Johnson, and Kenneth Grant will get more snaps. UConn quarterback Zion Turner has four touchdowns to three interceptions. He recorded an 82.4 percent completion rate against Syracuse last week.

No. 4 Michigan Wolverines take on Connecticut Huskies in a non-conference game. The game is a final tune-up for the Wolverine's new coach. Michigan's main objective is to figure out the starting quarterback and get as many players experience as possible. UConn is bad and heavy underdogs.
