Michigan football arrived in Oklahoma Friday afternoon ahead of Saturday night’s game versus the Sooners.

Some travel shots of Michigan players:

Michigan Wolverines football will face Oklahoma for just the second time in history Saturday night in Norman. The Wolverines announced Friday afternoon they’ll do so wearing their white jerseys with maize pants and white accessories.

This is Michigan’s first road game of the year, after beating New Mexico 34-17 in Ann Arbor to open the season. The last time the Wolverines went on the road, they wore their all-white combination in a 13-10 win over Ohio State.

Saturday night’s clash is the 42nd occurrence of Michigan facing an SEC opponent, with the Wolverines holding a 27-13-1 record. The Wolverines have also had success recently, beating Alabama twice last calendar year — 27-20 in overtime of the College Football Playoff semifinal at the Rose Bowl Jan. 1 and 19-13 at the ReliaQuest Bowl Dec. 31. The Wolverines also lost to Texas, 31-12, at The Big House last September.

Michigan graduate forward Yaxel Lendeborg was named a first-team preseason All-American by Blue Ribbon.

Michigan has 227 wins since 2000, ranking fourth among “blue blood” programs.

Quote Of The Day

“One thing I really saw that I didn’t expect is, before the games, they have a separate tailgate for the parents. Just seeing how it’s not just about the players, but how they like to make the families feel included in the process, I really liked that. I know my parents would love to be included in my process through college football.”
