Data points to big Michigan win against UTEP

Michigan is set to face UTEP in their first-ever matchup, with the Wolverines as 35 ½ point favorites. Michigan recently defeated Oklahoma 17-10 at home, while UTEP suffered a 51-0 loss against the same team. UTEP's offense struggled, gaining just 198 yards, most of which were rushing. Conversely, Michigan's offense was impressive, accumulating 263 total yards, including 152 rushing.

Michigan's defense has been strong, not allowing a touchdown in the red zone, while UTEP has yet to score one. Oklahoma's lone touchdown against Michigan came from a busted coverage on a 22-yard pass. The Wolverines climbed back to No. 19 after a controversial season-opening win. Michigan will face Iowa in their next game, while UTEP will host Oregon State.
