It was announced earlier today that the Michigan Wolverines will open the season in primetime on NBC for a 7:30 pm ET meeting with Fresno State in the Big House. The following week, the Wolverines are set to square off with the Texas Longhorns at Noon in Ann Arbor. Now, a third start time has been announced on Monday – and its the big one.
Michigan and Ohio State, as they often do, will kickoff at noon on FOX as the rivalry shifts back to Columbus.
After nearly two decades of misery at the hands of the Buckeyes, the Wolverines are now riding an incredible three-game winning streak over their heated rival – in addition to three consecutive Big Ten Championships, a Rose Bowl Championship, and a National Championship.
The 2024 edition of Michigan vs. Ohio State will certainly provide plenty of intrigue, as the Wolverines have now entered the post-Harbaugh era, and new head coach Sherrone Moore is tasked with rebuilding a roster that sent nearly 20 players to the NFL. On the flip side, Ohio State has loaded up on talent from both the recruiting trail and the transfer portal – and, not surprisingly, the Buckeyes are early National Championship favorites.
With that being said, Michigan’s last trip to Columbus went about as good as anyone could have asked for, assuming you’re part of the Maize and Blue faithful. The Wolverines handed the Buckeyes an embarrassing 22-point home loss, and then proceeded to plant the Block M flag at the 50-yard line when the clock hit 0:00.
There might be plenty of new faces, but there’s absolutely no doubt that this will be yet another heated matchup between Michigan and Ohio State on Nov. 30.
