Michigan football is back in action after having a week off to think about its underwhelming performance against Purdue.
The Wolverines are traveling to Chicago to face Northwestern on Saturday, Nov. 15, at Wrigley Field in a fun showdown at a legendary stadium. The game will kick off at noon ET and will air on Fox for “Big Noon.”
It’s an important game for both sides, as Northwestern (5-4) has a chance to lock up bowl eligibility, while Michigan can get one stop closer to the College Football Playoff by picking up another victory.

The schedule has set up really well for the Wolverines over the final few weeks, letting them slowly but surely build momentum after the USC loss all the way into the season finale against Ohio State, where anything can happen.
But to get there, Michigan will have to maintain its focus against Northwestern first and then Maryland before hosting OSU in Week 14.
And that means playing better than the Wolverines did in Week 10 at home against Purdue.
Here’s what you need to know for Michigan football’s game in Week 12 against Northwestern at Wrigley field:
