Michigan the last 3 years has started to break trends. They have been playing well on the road, night games no longer bother the team, and hopefully trips out West are not a big deal any longer.
Michigan embarks on its first road trip of the year on Saturday and its a long one, all the way to Seattle. Michigan was supposed to play this game in 2020 but COVID knocked that one out. With a stroke of luck, UW is now in the Big Ten and now Michigan can return the favor of the trip the Huskies made to Ann Arbor a number of years ago.
On Saturday, Michigan get the trifecta of trend beatters: West Coast Road Game at Night. It actually will be at 4:30 Seattle time but a 7:30 kick for us in the Eastern Time Zone.
This team under Sherrone needs a boost and maybe a road trip is just the answer. The team takes a long flight, gets to bond a couple days in a hotel, maybe visits an area they have never been before, and has some of famous Seattle seafood. Playing at home for over a month, might have been a bit too comfortable for this team and maybe some players developed some bad habits.
Either way, this will be a test for the Wolverines. This is not a rematch of the National Championship Game, both of these programs are completely different. If anything its a match-up of the Jim Harbaugh Coaching Tree.
- Seems there is optimism for both Stewart and Johnson to play on Saturday. Which is good but also the company line.
- Go Tigers! The ones in Detroit of course!

Just how unevenly this team has played at home, I just don't see them going on the road and playing any better, especially going to the left coast at night. Thinking that playing a road game is some kind of elixir is akin to thinking next week Alex Orji is going to figure it out and throw for 200+ yds. While it could happen, the odds are stacked against that happening.
like how you applied "Basic logic 101"..... But we could pray and next day find a Mecedes in our driveways, according to Professor Janis Jopplin.
