Week 10: Penn State Football vs. Michigan

This game might turn into Whiteout 2.0, making for a very hostile environment for Jim Harbaugh and the Michigan Wolverines.

There’s a lot of unknown with this Michigan team coming into 2021. They went 2-4 last season and struggled to find consistent quarterback play. Cade McNamara, who started against Penn State last year but got hurt in the game, will be the starter heading into 2021.

McNamara played well last year, but it will be interesting to see how short his leash is with 5-star freshman J.J. McCarthy behind him.

Michigan should be able to put up some points, but will they be able to stop anyone?

Longtime defensive coordinator Don Brown was fired after the Wolverines gave up an average of 34.5 points per game. With a new defensive staff and star defensive end Aidan Hutchinson back at 100 percent, Harbaugh is hoping for more from his defense.

Penn State has a chance to win three straight against Michigan in this matchup, and that is something they would like to use in recruiting.

Outside of last year, with Penn State winning in an empty Big House, the home team has dominated this game lately.
