Despite losing Caleb Williams and a number of playmakers, the Trojans remain one of the most productive offenses in college football. What should the Wolverines expect from QB Miller Moss, speedster Zachariah Branch and the Lincoln Riley offense? On defense, USC has made significant changes under new coaching following a disastrous 2023. Is that enough to stop Alex Orji and the Wolverines?

| 0:24.1 | The Big Ten season has arrived, |
| 0:26.6 | and the Wolverines are beginning their three-time defense of a Big Ten championship. |
| 0:33.1 | In a new look conference against a new opponent, |
| 0:36.1 | the Wolverines host USC. The Trojans are coming to |
| 0:39.5 | Ann Arbor for a 3.30 p.m. kickoff on Saturday afternoon. That game will be broadcast nationally on |
| 0:46.3 | CBS. It's also if you're going a stripe out, so make sure you look at the chart to know if you should |
