Michigan vs Central Michigan will take place in Ann Arbor as the Wolverines return home after a humbling loss to Oklahoma, looking to rebound before Big Ten play<\/p>\n
With Sherrone Moore suspended<\/strong><\/a> for two games, Biff Poggi steps in as interim head coach. His main challenge will be to improve Michigan\u2019s offensive execution, particularly along the offensive line, which surrendered three sacks to Oklahoma and failed to sustain consistent drives.<\/p>\n Michigan will have a different voice on the sidelines this week. Poggi, who returned to the program this offseason as associate head coach, has been named the interim head coach while Moore serves a two-game suspension stemming from the NCAA\u2019s sign-stealing investigation. He will guide the Wolverines against Central Michigan and Nebraska before Moore returns on October 4 against Wisconsin.<\/p>\n Poggi brings prior head coaching experience from his time at Charlotte and is known as both a program builder and a player-first leader. While his role is temporary, his ability to steady the team and sharpen execution could prove valuable as Michigan looks to stabilize during this key non-conference stretch.<\/p>\n Michigan is 4\u20130 all-time against Central Michigan<\/strong>, with a combined scoring margin of 285\u201333<\/strong>. The last meeting came in 2013, when the Wolverines dominated the Chippewas 59\u20139. Michigan has never scored fewer than 35 points in this series.<\/p>\n Michigan Wolverines (1\u20131)<\/strong><\/p>\n Week 1: Win vs. New Mexico, 34\u201317<\/strong><\/p>\n Passing Leader: Bryce Underwood<\/a> \u2013 251 yards<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Rushing Leader: Justice Haynes<\/a> \u2013 159 yards<\/p>\n<\/li>\nCoaching Note: Poggi Steps in During Moore\u2019s Suspension<\/h3>\n
