Not the best news in the availability report of the extraordinary beat author and birthday girl Angelique Chengelis.

No Colston Loveland for the Wolverines.

If you're in the Big House, wish Angelique a happy birthday!

USC rally in Detroit

Yesterday, USC held a large rally in downtown Detroit before tonight's game.

For the second time in three weeks, Michigan will host a higher-ranked opponent who goes into the game as a favorite.

The Wolverines will be hoping for a better performance than they did earlier this month against third-ranked Texas, when they lost 31-12.

After Davis Warren struggled with six interceptions and two touchdown passes, Michigan coach Sherrone Moore said Alex Orji would start the game against No. 11 USC.
