Who Wins The Battle Of Michigan?
Oh, yes, my friends, today is Friday, which means it’s one more day until Saturday. I don’t need to tell you what happens on Saturdays. You should already know that. But, in case you don’t, I’ll remind you anyway because it’s very important; more important then the presentation or exam you will prepare for over the weekend.

Michigan leads the nation in total offense with 565.5 ypg, third in rushing with 324.4 ypg., and ranks ninth in points per game with 41.4.
