Michigan football commits, targets predict final score between Wolverines and Fresno State

Michigan is just one day away from playing its first game of the 2024 season. The Wolverines will look to defend their national championship and in Week 1, Michigan plays a primetime game against Fresno State. It will be the first game between the two teams.

The Bulldogs are coming off of a 9-4 season. Fresno State returns veteran quarterback Mikey Keene who was one of the top quarterbacks in the Mountain West last year. Defensively, the Bulldogs were a top-50 defense in 2023 and the new-look Michigan offense will have to play well and keep the chains moving against Fresno State.
