Where Michigan Football ranks among nation’s top-rated defenses
Despite severely struggling offensively and stumbling to a 3-2 record to start this season, the Michigan Wolverines are exceptional on the defensive side of the field and currently rank among the highest-rated defenses in the nation. Michigan leads the Big Ten and is second in the country in total defense with just 241.4 yards allowed […]
Michigan’s OL continuing to build chemistry to kickstart the run game
The Michigan offense has been the story of the 2026 season so far for all the wrong reasons. The run game in particular has been underwhelming, with the Wolverines currently averaging a mere 135.0 rushing yards per game, including a season-low 79 yards against Minnesota. Those numbers are certainly below Michigan’s standard, even the last […]
Punt unit, Cam Brown ‘super valuable’ to Michigan Football through 5 games
In the first five games, Michigan hasn’t allowed more than 20 points to any individual opponent. In each of the last two games, both losses to Iowa and Minnesota, the Wolverines’ opponents only scored 20 points, which was enough to come away with the win. When a team like Michigan can’t rely on its offense […]

Both Michigan and Penn State are searching for truth after disappointing starts
0-5. That is the combined record in conference play for the Michigan Wolverines and Penn State Nittany Lions with both teams slumping into what was supposed to be a fiery reunion in Ann Arbor.

How Northwestern could shake up Big Ten Football hierarchy
In the rapidly changing college football landscape, programs can quickly rise to prominence and dominate — the Big Ten knows that all too well after Indiana won a national championship last season during Curt Cignetti’s second season as IU’s head coach.

Michigan Hockey: Wolverines sweep Alaska Anchorage to improve to 4-0-0
It took Michigan less than 30 seconds to punch first in Game 1 against Alaska Anchorage over the weekend, when forward Cole McKinney tapped in a feed from forward Malcolm Spence.

When will we see Roddy Gayle Jr. take the court again? It depends on an amendment to his injunction
We saw 11 players take the court in Michigan’s 87-62 exhibition win over Eastern Michigan, and there was a lot to take away from the new-look squad. Trey McKenney led the team with 21 points, freshman Quinn Costello poured in 16 points off the bench, and Michigan utilized the pick-and-roll a lot, with Elliot Cadeau […]

Kyle Whittingham defends Bryce Underwood as starting QB, but his reasons are questionable
Michigan head football coach Kyle Whittingham made it clear on Monday during his weekly press conference that Bryce Underwood is still the team’s starting quarterback. What he did not make clear is why — at least in any way that actually addresses the on-field problems that have contributed to back-to-back losses. When asked why he […]
Michigan QB Tommy Carr took more first-team reps during bye week
Bryce Underwood is Michigan’s starting quarterback, but if Underwood doesn’t improve or stop turning the ball over, true freshman backup Tommy Carr could see the field sooner or later. Michigan head coach Kyle Whittingham told the media on Monday that Carr “had a good week” of practices during Michigan’s bye week. “He took half the […]

News and notes from Kyle Whittingham’s pre-Penn State press conference
The Michigan Wolverines return from their bye week to try and right the ship. At 3-2 overall and 0-2 in Big Ten play, there is a huge uphill climb to get back into any sort of national conversation after brutal losses to Iowa and Minnesota. They’ll attempt to get back in the win column this […]
