When Michigan and Penn State square off Saturday, the Wolverines will be the underdog hoping not to lose their second game of the season and a shot at a Big Ten championship berth. The roles have been reversed from the previous few years, when Michigan has bullied the Nittany Lions, winning the last three meetings, spoiling their College Football Playoff hopes, and flipping their recruits.
As the No. 2 team in the AP poll with the No. 3 recruiting class, Penn State is hoping this season is when their fortunes change against the Wolverines and coach Jim Harbaugh.
