Josh Metellus has waited a long time for Michigan football's game this Saturday at No. 7 Penn State.

Roughly two years, in fact.

Metellus was a sophomore in 2017 when the Wolverines traveled to Beaver Stadium with a 5-1 record, looking for a marquee victory over a highly-ranked opponent.

Things went wrong from the start, when Saquon Barkley exploded for a long touchdown on the second play from scrimmage.
