No. 10 Michigan will play its first road game of the season against Washington on Saturday night in a rematch of January’s National Championship Game, where Michigan dominated. While both teams have changed since last season, Washington (3-2) is seeking a statement win in the Big Ten, which they could achieve by defeating Michigan. This will be the 15th meeting between the two teams, with Michigan holding a 9-5 all-time record and winning the last three matchups. The Wolverines lost their last game in Seattle back in 2001, 23-18.
Michigan will aim to improve its passing game against Washington’s No. 6 ranked pass defense, but will likely need to lean on its strong rushing duo of Kalel Mullings and Donovan Edwards, alongside a stout defense.
