The College football’s biggest rivalry, ‘The Game’ is almost here, and it’s shaping up to be an absolute thriller, especially with all the drama surrounding Michigan fullback Max Bredeson. After getting hurt against Maryland and showing up on crutches, everyone thought he was done for. The Wolverines team captain puts up a pretty might-backfire statement and ready to put his body on the line for one last time for Sherrone Moore.

“I’m not going to say exactly what it is now, but I’m feeling good, feeling better each day, and I’m ready to go. We’re going to do everything in our power to be able to play on Saturday, and I’m feeling good about it. I’m feeling really good about it.” (insider Alejandro Zuniga on X)

That’s what Max Bredeson said when asked about playing against the Ohio State Buckeyes. Even if he’s not at 100%, just having him on the field – even for a few snaps – would be a massive morale boost for the team. Wolverines RB Jordan Marshall says Bredeson is going to play as much as he possibly can. The backstory of Max Bredeson makes the situation even more intriguing.

The Hartland native is not exactly known for his receiving game, with just two catches for 11 yards this season, and a career-high of 78 yards in 2022. Makes sense, since fullbacks aren’t used much in the passing game anymore. However, his real value comes from being a punishing run-blocker and a tough-as-nails leader.

Last year, in his senior season, he was a key part of the offensive line that helped Michigan’s running game dominate Ohio State in a 13-10 victory. After that, he decided to return for a fifth season to help the team once again.

For Michigan, this season has been a bit of a letdown compared to the high expectations that followed their national championship in 2023. They’ve had their struggles, including two losses and a bunch of injuries to key players like star running back Justice Haynes.

As a result, they come into this game with a 9-2 record, a far cry from Ohio State’s perfect 11-0. But that’s exactly what makes this game so exciting. a win against a top-ranked, undefeated Ohio State would completely erase the memory of their regular-season stumbles like last season.
