Big Ten Football schedule Week 3: Where to find Michigan vs. CMU, other games

The Michigan Wolverines welcome the Central Michigan Chippewas to the Big House on Saturday in their non-conference finale, set for a noon kick on Big Ten Network.

Saturday’s game against Central Michigan will be the first contest of a self-imposed two-game suspension by Michigan and head coach Sherrone Moore in response to the sign-stealing saga with the NCAA. He is able to coach the team all week in practice, but at midnight Saturday will be away from the team until midnight after the Nebraska game.

In the interim, associate head coach Biff Poggi will wear the headset on Saturday with offensive coordinator Chip Lindsey, defensive coordinator Wink Martindale and special teams coordinator J.B. Brown handlign their units as normal.

“We’ll operate as a collective unit,” Moore said during his Monday press conference ahead of CMU week. “Chip will handle the offense, Wink will handle the defense, JB will handle the special teams. But the overall operation coach, Biff Poggi, will stand in as interim. And it’ll flow like normal. Obviously, I won’t be on the sideline but how we handle game days with Chip handling the offense, and Wink handling the defense, and JB handling the special teams. We’ll pull the same, and our players, they’ll be ready to go.”

The contest is one of 15 games being played this weekend across the Big Ten. Below is the full slate with kick times and television designations.
