After defeating USC by 27-24 in week 4, Michigan is set to host its Big Ten games. The defending champions are set for their next game against the Minnesota Golden Gophers, which is scheduled for 28th September. No. 13 USC Trojans narrowly lost their first in-conference Big Ten game by 3 points.

This season, the Wolverines are often in the headlines not because of their performance but because of their quarterback situation. Before their Big Ten faceoff, head coach Sherrone Moore announced Alex Orji as their starting quarterback for the season after analyzing his performance in Week 3. In two more days, Michigan will face Minnesota, who will visit the Big House on Saturday. The game is set to kickoff at 12 p.m. E.T. in front of a huge crowd at Michigan Stadium. For fans who cannot attend the match live in the stadium, there’s no need to worry; you can enjoy the game back home comfortably with your family and friends on the FOX broadcast channel. Let’s discuss the voices for the big game.

Gus Johson, an American sportscaster and the lead play-by-play announcer for FOX Sports, will be seen on the screens. He also covers football and basketball for FOX; before joining them, he worked with CBS Sports. Joel Klatt will join him and provide color commentary. Currently, he works with FOX as a college football analyst and color commentator. Klatt’s insights are very crucial from the game’s point of view because he is a former football player, and his on-field experience makes the commentary more interesting. He played as a quarterback for the Colorado Buffaloes and spent two seasons playing minor-league baseball games.

Additionally, Jenny Taft’s voice will be a delight for Michigan and Minnesota fans. She is a known sports TV personality who has been serving as the lead college football sideline reporter for Fox broadcasts. Taft started her career with Fox Sports North; currently, she is also working as a pit reporter for BattleBots on the Discovery Channel.

This weekend, the Wolverines will try their best to win the face-off against Minnesota, which is the 99th battle for the oldest trophy game in college football history. Michigan holds more advantage in the matchup, as they have won 26 out of the last 28 games and 44 out of 50 contests. On the other hand, the Minnesota Golden Gophers need to bounce back stronger after losing last week to Lowa. However, it is going to be more difficult for them because the Wolverines are on the right track, winning back-to-back games, and they last played at the Michigan Stadium seven seasons ago.
