The Trojans would be smart to not overlook the defending National Champion Wolverines who are 2-1 on the season. Michigan is fresh off a win over Arkansas State 28-18 at home on Saturday in which the Wolverines rushed for 301 yards with three rushing touchdowns.

Michigan coach Sherrone Moore made a change at quarterback this week, and the Wolverines will start Alex Orji instead of senior Davis Warren.

“They have NFL personnel on both sides of the ball, all over the place. Really good coaching staff, crazy experience. I mean, this is a great team that will be a big challenge,” Coach Riley said about the Wolverines.

THE FINAL WORD

“It’s a big game, for a lot of reasons,” Riley said. "In any year it would be a big game. First Big Ten matchup, you are taking arguably the two most iconic brands in the conference and two of the most iconic brands in the sport and you pair them up together. I think probably fitting we’re doing at their place, being that they’ve obviously been in the Big Ten forever, so it’s cool. It’s a great opportunity. I don’t think there’s any harm in acknowledging that … we gotta be able to lock in and go execute.”
