Pregame

- On a day when the weather was a factor in the conference, the conditions for this one will be perfect. 70 degrees, clear skies and 6 miles per hour winds. Weather will not be a factor in Michigan's plans.

- Michigan will be without a handful of players for this one as Jaylen Harrell, Ryan Hayes, Kalel Mullings, Makari Paige and Roman Wilson all did not make the trip.

- OL Jeff Persi will get the first start of his career at left tackle in place of the injured Hayes.
