The Michigan Wolverines and Maryland Terrapins game scheduled for next weekend in College Park did not receive a TV designation or kickoff time on Monday afternoon. The Big Ten conference has elected to exercise the 6-day window, meaning the game time will come on Saturday night after the conclusion of Week 12’s games.

This weekend, Michigan heads to Chicago for a showdown with the Northwestern Wildcats at Wrigley Field. Sitting at 7-2 on the season, U-M is coming off a bye week that had the No. 1 targeted goal of getting guys back from injury down the stretch.

“Getting guys healthy, that was the number one goal, we want to make sure we got guys healthy,” Michigan head coach Sherrone Moore said on Monday. “Obviously, get work in, do things to get us better, but trying to get guys back. We’ll see what their status is as we go through the week, but feel good about it. Feel good about where Cole is. We’ll see where they are, we’ll see where Jimmy is, we’ll see where Jaishawn is. But feel like we’re in a positive place with all of them.

“And feel like we’ll just keep getting more guys healthy. And then the guys that we’re playing, we’re getting into game 10 of the season, everybody’s got something. Some bruise, nick, something. So keep those guys healthy, and getting their bodies back was important for us.”

Saturday’s game at Wrigley Field is set for a noon ET kickoff on FOX.

Michigan quote of the day

“A lot of juice. A lot of juice. They are chomping at the bit. They’re going to be chomping at the bit to go out to practice today. They’ve been chomping at the bit yesterday when they came in the building. And we’re chomping at the bit, coaches are. So the energy is high, the juice is high, the urgency is high, and we’re just going to keep it that way.”
