Michigan vs. Ohio State live updates: How to watch, predictions, odds, Top 25 schedule

play

In most seasons, it is the game of the year in the Big Ten. But in 2024, Michigan, the defending national champions, are nearing the end of their disappointing campaign, still searching for an identity.

The 120th meeting between the Wolverines (6-5, 4-4 Big Ten) and Ohio State (10-1, 7-1) is the most crucial to the Buckeyes, who are looking to snap a three-game losing streak in the series and are inching near a College Football Playoff berth.

Ohio State enters the game with the nation’s top defense, allowing only 241.7 yards per game, and if Michigan wants to try to run the ball, they may have a tough time there as well, as the stout Buckeyes defense allows 2.7 yards per attempt and only 90 yards per game.

When is Michigan vs. Ohio State game?

The kickoff for Saturday’s game between No. 2 Ohio State and Michigan is 12:00 p.m. ET from Ohio Stadium in Columbus, Ohio.
