Ann Arbor — MICHIGAN’S OFFENSIVE PLAYERS WILL HAVE TO TALK LIKE THIS TO HEAR EACH OTHER INSIDE A LOUD BEAVER STADIUM ON SATURDAY.
Shouting might not actually be the correct option for the matchup against Penn State, though, which is why players are working on how to communicate with a silent cadence.
The players said they struggled with the noise at Indiana last weekend — with an announced crowd of 49,557 — and it showed, with 13 penalties, including five false starts.
Capacity at Beaver Stadium is 106,572. Plus, the game is a “white out,” which always has generated a more frenzied atmosphere.
