Special teams could be a factor

Both teams have been pedestrian when it comes to return yardage and one thing you can say about this Michigan football team is that the special teams haven't dropped off at all.

Dominic Zvada hasn't missed a kick this season and last week, the Wolverines blocked a punt to help set up a touchdown. Washington has had some issues though. The Huskies missed three field goals last week and Grady Gross has four misses so far this season.

We'll see if it becomes a factor but I have a hunch that both teams will be attempting multiple field goals on Saturday night and I'd rather be the Wolverines than the Huskies in that situation.
