Michigan Might Be in BIGGER TROUBLE Than Penn State...

Michigan football might have bigger problems than Penn State heading into Saturday's Big Ten showdown. Can Matt Campbell and the Nittany Lions take advantage?

Jacob Westendorf of Locked On Wolverines joins Locked On Nittany Lions for a crossover preview of Penn State vs. Michigan, including the struggles surrounding Kyle Whittingham, Bryce Underwood, and offensive coordinator Jason Beck.

We examine Michigan's offensive identity, concerns about its running game, injury questions along the offensive line, and whether Penn State's defense can bounce back after difficult performances against Northwestern and USC.

Plus, could Michigan's defense overwhelm Rocco Becht? Are these two programs facing similar challenges under new coaching staffs? And why does this matchup look closer than a touchdown spread?
