Michigan 30, Fresno State 10
Yes, you read that correctly. This contest is under the lights in prime time. Lots of the schedule remains TBD as far as broadcasters are concerned. But through the Arkansas State game, a home game, on September 14th, broadcasters and times are known and this is the only night game.
Reportedly, Arkansas State is good at football and cannot be taken lightly. I don't think the coaches or players will treat this game as a tomato can match-up. Fall camp just started and Sherrone has been tight-lipped regarding who will start at QB. Likely candidates are Tuttle and Orji, 2 very different QB styles. I never like rotating QBs in games but doing that presents a change in pace offense that opposing coaches have to prepare for. I've got no skin in the game. I don't care who starts. I like Tuttle's experience. I like Orji's athleticism and innate ability to make defenses account for him running the ball. That's something Tuttle can do but he doesn't present the same run threat that Orji does. There are too many good resources on line that do a good job of breaking down this contest. The link below is good enough until I find something better or want to do it myself.
But thank God football is just around the corner and we can talk about it instead of the giant turd hurtling our way in the form of November's presidential election. I'll be in Ann Arbor for the USC and Minnesota games but will be traveling on several Saturdays during M's '24 season campaign to the CFP and will miss some games - a first for me. M should at least be good enough to be in the top 12 but unless one of the two likely QBs excels in the passing game, they're not going to take the conference crown or make the final 4.
