Big Ten action heats up on Saturday as the Michigan Wolverines (4-2) welcome the Washington Huskies (5-1) to Michigan Stadium.
Washington is coming into this matchup riding high after a 38-19 home victory over Rutgers last Friday, a win that pushed them into a tie for fourth in the Big Ten standings at 2-1 in conference play.
Michigan, on the other hand, is looking to bounce back after a tough 31-13 road loss to USC last weekend. Despite the setback, the Wolverines also sit at 2-1 in Big Ten play, sharing that same fourth-place spot in the conference race.
