Michigan football vs. Ohio State: Rivalry game time, TV, radio, live stream
By Matt Snyder
The Michigan football team hosts rival Ohio State for this year’s edition of The Game. Here’s how you can find the game on TV or streaming online.
The Michigan football team closes the regular season by hosting Ohio State in the annual rivalry game. The Wolverines need a win if they’re to keep hope alive for a 10-win season, but they enter the contest as double-digit underdogs.
Michigan has beaten Ohio State only once in the last thirteen meetings dating back through the 2004 season. They have won just three times since the year 2000.
The Buckeyes still have everything to play for. They’ve already clinched a berth to the Big Ten title game in Indianapolis as the winner of the East division, but they maintain a sliver of hope of inclusion into the College Football Playoff. It’s tough for a two-loss team to gain inclusion into the field, but a certain amount of chaos might allow the Buckeyes (currently ninth in the playoff rankings) to find their way in as the fourth and final team.
Neither side, however, needs any more more motivation to bring their all in this bitter rivalry. Even if both teams were out of the bowl picture entirely, both teams would play as if the national championship were on the line.
With Brandon Peters and Wilton Speight likely still out with injuries, Michigan will turn to John O’Korn to lead the team to victory. O’Korn’s play has been substandard this season, but he has shown flashes of competence at times (notably against Purdue). This will be his toughest task of the season, however.
