Throughout the season during game week, we will be taking a look at what Michigan's opponent that Saturday (in this case, Thursday) has done so far and what the team looks like. With the game against Utah being a week one opponent, we automatically go to last year's match-up when the two teams played at the Big House.
2014's matchup: Utah 26, Michigan 10
Michigan entered last season's game against Utah as a 3-point favorite. It lost by 16 points in a hideous game.
Utah was outgained by Michigan (308 yards to 286) and had fewer first downs (13 to 19) but managed to pull out the win with superb special teams play and defensive efforts.
