Former Michigan football star and Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy needs knee surgery just before his first NFL season, per reports.

The Detroit Lions have selected the University of Missouri Tigers cornerback Ennis Rakestraw Jr. with the No. 61 pick in the second round of the NFL draft.

The Big Ten revealed Thursday that the NCAA is looking into “sign stealing allegations” that have been made against Michigan football this season.

Michigan football finally looked like a legitimate national championship contender during a blowout win at Nebraska this weekend.

The crowd set a world record for largest to ever view a women’s sporting event, surpassing the 91,648 fans that saw Barcelona play Wolfsburg in a UEFA Women’s Champions League semifinal on April 22, 2022.

The Michigan Wolverines took care of business in consecutive road games as the men in maize beat the Indiana Hoosiers 31-10 to improve to 6-0 on the season.

The Big Ten announced revisions to the 2022 football schedule on Wednesday (Jan. 12) for all 14 teams in the conference, including two noticeable changes for the Michigan Wolverines.

Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh says defensive back Dax Hill is not yet in Miami with the team and is questionable to play in the Orange Bowl against No. 3 Georgia.

No. 3 Oregon, No. 4 Ohio State and No. 5 Cincinnati all moved up one spot behind No. 1 Georgia and No. 2 Alabama in the second College Football Playoff rankings.

C.

Is this year’s Michigan football team actually different than others? Cade McNamara said it best after the Nebraska game.

Northwestern lost its opener to Michigan State and dropped its last road game by 49 points.

Michigan football enjoyed a stress-free bye this weekend, but hopefully the players and coaches were paying attention to what happened around the Big Ten.

Michigan football survived the first half of its season without a loss. Now, after a well-placed bye week, the Wolverines face a much tougher second half.

The Michigan football team remains undefeated midway through the season, but it hasn’t been easy getting to this point.

The final score was 32-29.

Ninth-ranked Michigan looks to keep its roll going with a defense yet to give up more than 17 points and the confidence it can achieve championship goals after falling short in previous seasons under Jim Harbaugh.

Indiana last beat Michigan 33 years ago, on Oct. 24, 1987. Zach Charbonnet #24 of the Michigan Wolverines is tackled by Bryant Fitzgerald #31 of the Indiana Hoosiers during the first half at Memorial Stadium on November 23, 2019 in Bloomington, Indiana. It was a comedy of errors, and now, against a 2-0 Indiana team ranked No. Donovan Peoples-Jones #9 of the Michigan Wolverines goes up for a touchdown reception as Tiawan Mullen #3 of the Indiana Hoosiers defends during the first half at Memorial Stadium on November 23, 2019 in Bloomington, Indiana. Everything seems to be crumbling around this Michigan team.

The Big Ten won't play football this fall because of concerns about COVID-19, becoming the first of college sports' power conferences to yield to the pandemic. Much of the fall college sports season has been canceled, with conferences hoping to make up competitions, including football, in the spring. The NCAA has no jurisdiction over major college football, so the conferences have been left to make their own calls. Six leagues, including the Atlantic Coast Conference, Southeastern Conference and Big 12, are moving forward with plans to play in the fall. He added: Were not in a place today where we could safely play sports.___Follow Ralph D.

Peoples-Jones dropped the first two passes thrown his direction. Collins dropped a pass on a crossing route that would have been a big play. But his receivers dropped the ball. The numbers are fine considering the inconsistency of the offense, but these receivers are supposed to be extraordinary.

7 Penn State. The Wolverines' offensive line has been a disappointment, allowing 11 sacks through six games, which is average nationally. Penn State will be the toughest defense Michigan has faced this season, so the offensive line needs to be consistently strong. Penn State is allowing the third-fewest rushing yards per game and the fewest rushing yards per attempt nationally. That means the offensive line, expected to be the centerpiece of the offense, needs to meet expectations, too.
