Five features for Michigan fans to look for in NCAA 24

The last time college football had a video game they chose to honor Michigan legend Denard Robinson on the cover.

If course, this also means that a lot of the players from the early Harbaugh years would finally get to beat Ohio State after getting robbed by a poor spot. A small cosolation prize, but would be fun nonetheless.

What game-day traditions are…
