The Wolverines will take on a new foe when Michigan takes the field at State Farm Stadium in Arizona on Saturday. For the first time in program history, Michigan will play TCU and do so on one of the biggest stages.
For consecutive seasons, Michigan played its way into the College Football Playoff. Last season, the Wolverines lost one game during the regular season but ended strongly to make the playoffs, losing to Georgia in the semifinals.
This season, Michigan has gone unscathed. The Wolverines are 13-0 entering New Year’s Eve.
Jim Harbaugh stated Michigan had four goals entering the season: beat Michigan State and Ohio State in the same season, win the Big Ten and win the national championship.
The Wolverines have accomplished three of those goals so far, and Michigan is two wins away from accomplishing the biggest goal. For the maize and blue to get to the championship, they must defeat the Horned Frogs.
Here are three keys for Michigan to beat TCU.
