Wolverine Confidential: Can Michigan bounce back vs. Arkansas State?
The Michigan football team will try to bounce back from its first loss since 2022 when it hosts Arkansas State on Saturday.
The latest episode of the Wolverine Confidential podcast previews the matchup. The conversation starts by looking back on what Michigan’s players and coaches said this week about the loss to Texas. What went wrong in that game and is it correctable or are there lingering concerns?
We talk about Arkansas State, led by former Central Michigan and Tennessee head coach Butch Jones. He’s got several Michigan natives on the roster and a 2-0 record. Michigan kicker Dominic Zvada, meanwhile, will be facing his former team.
The episode wraps with our predictions for Saturday’s game. Kickoff is set for noon ET with Big Ten Network broadcasting.

The Razorbacks’ loss was arguably more painful (or, at least, took longer). Arkansas twice led against Nebraska and USA Softball Player of the Year Jordy Frahm, but was unable to maintain either lead before Ava Kuszak walked the Razorbacks off in the bottom of the 10th inning in the 5-3 defeat.
Now the Bruins and Razorbacks both must gear up for a second game in as many days, with their WCWS hopes on the line. Here’s how to watch as UCLA takes on Arkansas in a pivotal win-or-go-home game:
