Pregame
The Wolverines need to take just one more step before learning the stakes of next week’s matchup vs. Ohio State. But it’s definitely an important one.
The No. 6 Michigan Wolverines must first defeat Maryland, which put a scare into Michigan State a week ago before the Spartans pulled away late.
Michigan put Penn State quarterback Sean Clifford on his back at every opportunity a week ago, and the Wolverines’ defense will need to keep finding success with that pressure to keep Maryland quarterback Taulia Tagovailoa grounded.
