Michigan football is set to start quarterback Alex Orji for the second straight game, and Saturday provides another test for the Wolverines to further cement their identity.
Last week, the maize and blue asserted themselves on the ground, finally looking like they had a year ago in many regards, running with impunity. One big difference was apparent, however — the lack of the passing game with Orji going 7-for-12 for 32 yards.
Minnesota comes to town for the battle for the Little Brown Jug, the oldest rivalry trophy in all of college football. The Gophers are stout against the pass thus far but have been weak against the run. Will the Wolverines continue running or will they attempt the forward pass?

Michigan X-factor: Michigan should be able to continue running on offense but we’ll see how it factors against Minnesota’s run game. Last year, the Gophers managed to gain 114 yards on the Wolverines, which had been equally as proficient at stopping the run a year ago as they are now.
