The University of Michigan Wolverines' football season begins this Saturday night against the Fresno State Bulldogs in a game that will be broadcast on Big Ten Saturday Night on NBC and Peacock. The pressure is on for the Wolverines, who have won three consecutive Big Ten championships and were undefeated last season, as they enter the season with a new head coach, Sherrone Moore, who replaced Jim Harbaugh after Harbaugh departed to become head coach of the Los Angeles Chargers. In addition to coaching changes, a record 13 players from last year's squad were recruited in the NFL draft.
Meanwhile, the Fresno State Bulldogs, who ended last season with an overall 11-20 record, welcomed USC transfer Korey Foreman as a defensive lineman in the off-season, their highest-ranked recruit ever.
