Behind enemy lines: Michigan vs. Colorado State

Some great insight here!

It’s just about gameday in Ann Arbor. Michigan finally opens up its season on Saturday with Colorado State. The two teams have played each other just one time, that being back in 1994 during the Holiday Bowl where the Wolverines came out on top 24-14.

The Rams had a bad season last year after they went 3-9. Steve Addazio was fired after just two seasons in Fort Collins.

The Rams hired their new head coach Jay Norvell away from a conference foe in Nevada. Between transfers and recruits, Colorado State has 59 new members to its roster from the 2021 season.

To get some better input on Colorado State and its new roster, we spoke with Jeremy Mauss with Mountain West Wire to get some insight on what Michigan fans can expect from a Norvell-led team on Saturday.

The game will take place at noon EDT and it will be aired nationally on ABC.
