Michigan and Michigan State Kick Off Seasons

Michigan's 2024 football season kicks off against Fresno State under new head coach Sherrone Moore, following Jim Harbaugh's departure to the Los Angeles Chargers. The Wolverines, defending their national championship, face a restructured team with new players and coaching staff, including the recent hire of running backs coach Jayden Everett from Vanderbilt. Meanwhile, Big Ten fans face a blackout issue as Comcast/Xfinity and Fox negotiate the carriage of games for new conference members. Michigan State also begins a new era with head coach Jonathan Smith, preparing to face Florida Atlantic this weekend. Smith's innovative strategies aim to revitalize the Spartans' offensive and defensive capabilities.
