Michigan is gearing up for its third game of the season. It looks to improve to 2-1 following a 31-12 loss to Texas at home in Week 2. The Wolverines were exposed in just about every area against the Longhorns, and they'll hope to get many mistakes fixed in what many are considering a "get right" game versus the Red Wolves.

Ranked as the 17th team in the country, Michigan is as low in the AP Poll as it has been since the memorable 2021 season. A win over Arkansas State likely won't result in a large amount of movement from the reigning national champions in the polls, but the main focus will be fixing the mistakes that were exposed last weekend.

Michigan had five players (Jaden Mangham, Rod Moore, Jordan Marshall, Micah Pollard and Jason Hewlett) listed as out prior to this week's matchup and two players (Tyler Morris and Jack Tuttle) listed as questionable.

Morris, the junior wide receiver, participated in warmups, but Tuttle, the seventh-year senior quarterback, did not.

Below are live updates of the Week 3 matchup.
