per the AP:

Michigan's football players charged out of the Big House tunnel and leaped to touch a banner at midfield, following a tradition that has made 100,000-plus fans roar for decades.

With a Michigan Stadium record-low crowd of 615 people at the Michigan State game last week, the Wolverines looked flat and lost to follow an early trend in the conference.

All five Big Ten teams that hosted games last Saturday lost. That bleak day dropped the overall record for home games in the conference to 6-7 during the COVID-19 pandemic that has sharply limited attendance at the stadiums.

"I definitely think things are a lot more balanced without any crowd or any fans," Michigan linebacker Josh Ross said.


Go Gophers!!
