Michigan Football vs. Colorado: How to Watch, What to Know, More
With Michigan football taking on Colorado in the final non-conference game of the season, the Wolverines have a chance to start 3-0.
The last time Michigan football got off to a 3-0 start was the 2013 season. It was the year the Wolverines barely escaped with wins against Akron and Connecticut in back-to-back weeks.
Now here we are, three years later, and an undefeated start somehow has a completely different script. If Michigan wins on Saturday against Colorado, the Wolverines will most likely stay inside the top five (they’re currently ranked No. 4 in the AP Poll and No. 5 in the Coaches Poll) and be in great position heading into Big Ten play.
Michigan’s playing a Colorado team that hasn’t won more than two Pac-12 games since joining the conference in 2011, and it’s never finished better than last in the South. Despite that, through two games the Buffaloes don’t look like a very apathetic team.

Who are the Buffaloes?
Colorado is also off to a 2-0 start, and you could argue it’s been more dominant than Michigan’s. The Buffaloes handed it to rival Colorado State, 44-7, and then beat Idaho State last week, 56-7.
The program did itself a huge favor by bringing back Darrin Chiaverini, who played wide receiver at Colorado in the 1990’s, as co-offenisve coordinator, alongside Brian Lindgren. Chiaverini spent the previous two seasons at Texas Tech, and now the Buffaloes’ offensive attack looks eerily similar to the one being run in Lubbock.
Defense hasn’t been a high point for Colorado in recent years, but the Buffaloes have forced five turnovers so far this season. Continuing that trend will be a necessity against a Michigan team that’s only turned the ball over once this year.
This week’s coverage
This will probably prove to be the toughest of Michigan’s non-conference matches this season, but that might just be speaking more heavily to how weak the slate was.
