The Black Knights travel to Ann Arbor to take on the Wolverines. Here are three keys to a home win for Michigan football.

Although the Black Knights are 22-point underdogs this Saturday in Ann Arbor, the Michigan Wolverines would be remiss if they didn’t take this game seriously.

The Black Knights are having their best run in football since World War II and Red Blaik’s 27 game unbeaten streak. Under current head coach Jeff Monken, the Black Knights have won 10 games in consecutive seasons for the first time, they’ve beaten Navy three consecutive times, and won the Commander-in-Chief Trophy two years in a row.

Army and their option offense gave the Oklahoma Sooners fits last season. The Sooners had the ball for less than 20 minutes the entire game, and almost left Norman with a win. It took a touchdown pass from Kyler Murray in overtime to win that game. Michigan has to be aware of this if they want to win on Saturday.

Should the Wolverines win this game? Yes, here are three keys for a Michigan win at the Big House this Saturday at noon.
