Michigan is back in action on Saturday night after a bye week, playing host to the Purdue Boilermakers.
The last time the two teams faced off, Michigan successfully defended their Big Ten Championship with a confident win and booked their second straight trip to the College Football Playoff. This year, there is slightly less at stake.
For the Wolverines, it’s all about keeping the season perfect. Dominant win after dominant win has cemented the Wolverines as the number two team in the country, but a loss at the hands of a squad like Purdue could send them tumbling down the rankings.
