Availability Report

On the Left Coast

How will Michigan handle not only the jet lag with playing on Pacific time, but also playing in front of a hostile crowd?

Maybe not that hostile as there are Michigan fans everywhere and plenty of them on the West Coast.

Both Michigan and USC have 4-1 records with the Trojans' loss coming last week at Illinois, 34-32.

USC has a good run defense, ranked 29th in the country, allowing 108.4 yards per game.

But the Wolverines handled the former No. 1 run defense last week, running up 175 yards against Nebraska.

Michigan's defense will have plenty to worry about with USC quarterback Jaden Maiava, who has led the Trojans to the No. 2 offense with 565 yards per game.
