No. 10 Michigan Wolverines heads West to take on Washington in what is a rematch of last year's National Championship Game. Michigan is 4-1 on the year but have looked less than stellar. The Wolverines have struggled to finish game in the past two weeks but have walked out of the Big House with victories.

Saturday marks Michigan's first away game of the season and it gets 3-2 Washington. The Huskies are looking for their first signature win since joining the Big Ten. Washington lost to rival Washington State and Big Ten foe Rutgers this season.
