Is Michigan football playing today? Time, TV for Wolverines' next game
Michigan football has a Week 6 bye and will resume its regular season-schedule on Oct. 17 against Penn State.
The Michigan Wolverines football team is enjoying a week off as they take a bye during their sixth week of the season. Their next game is scheduled for Saturday, October 17, when they will take on the Penn State Nittany Lions at the iconic Michigan Stadium in Ann Arbor. The match is set to kick off at 3:30 p.m. ET, but the exact TV channel has not been announced yet.
This break may prove to be advantageous for the Wolverines, who have struggled in their first two Big Ten games this season. After a 20-14 home loss to unranked Minnesota, several issues have come to light, including a lackluster performance from quarterback Bryce Underwood and a struggling running game. Additionally, the coaching staff, led by first-year coach Kyle Whittingham, is facing scrutiny.
The upcoming two games could be crucial in determining Michigan's season outcome. They will face a struggling Penn State team before taking on the highly-ranked No. 5 Indiana Hoosiers. With an extra week of preparation, the Wolverines will be well-equipped to face the Nittany Lions, who are currently hosting unranked USC on Saturday.
