The Bulldogs will take the field on Saturday against the defending national champions.
Fresno State head coach Tim Skipper is set to coach his first full season as the Bulldogs' head man. Skipper takes the place of former Fresno State legendary coach, Jeff Tedford. Fresno State lost Tedford after five seasons with the team where he compiled a 44-22 record. Tedford stepped down due to health reasons and Skipper is now in charge after coaching the Fresno State linebackers.
"I love hostile environments to be honest with you," Skipper said. "I think that's the magic of college football. You get 110,000 in the stadium and it's loud and it's rocking, you can't hear. You want it to be as hard as it can possibly be. That's just the way I think about it. We did a lot of stuff with noise, we played crowd noise over the speakers and things like that.
"I never think about losing," Skipper said. "I think about it's 0-0, we breathe the same air so why not go out there and try to win? College football is hard. Every game is going to be hard no matter who we're playing. We'll just stick to our plan, play hard, play Bulldog football and let the chips fall as they may. That's kind of how I look at it. I'm not a negative guy, I'm a positive guy so I think about trying to find ways to win.
Past the quarterbacks, Michigan has a fairly new-looking starting lineup -- especially on offense. With new starters and new coordinators, it's hard for Skipper to look back to last season to figure out the Wolverines. Instead, he says in-game adjustments will be the key.
