Michigan Wolverines football will battle Ohio State for the 120th time in history. The Wolverines announced Friday afternoon that they’ll do so wearing their all-white uniform combination, with a bit of a twist in that all of the accessories, including cleats, will be white as well.

Here’s a look at what Michigan will wear:

Michigan has sported all-white for its last three games at Ohio State, including its 45-23 win over the Buckeyes in 2022. That was U-M’s first win in Ohio Stadium in 2000.

U-M started switching up the pant color choice much more so in 2021, debuting the blue pants on the road in a win at Wisconsin that season. Here’s what Michigan has worn in every road game since 2021:

Michigan leads the all-time series against Ohio State, 61-52-6, and has won three-straight meetings for the first time since 1995-97.

Michigan and Ohio State are all tied up 28-28-2 in games in Columbus (25-24-1 at Ohio Stadium). Michigan has won there just once since 2000 — last time out, 45-23 in 2022.

Michigan is a massive underdog in this one, but the Wolverines still have a chance to put an exclamation point on their season.

“It’d be great,” head coach Sherrone Moore said of what a win would mean. I” think our guys work continuously for this game every year. This is the one that’s always marked. I think records in this game, as everybody knows, really don’t matter. For us, it’s about going to execute and compete on Saturday.”

Michigan and Ohio State will kick off at 12:14 p.m. ET Saturday in Columbus.
