The Michigan Wolverines are on the bye this weekend, but their next game’s kickoff time was set on Monday afternoon. U-M’s tilt against the Wisconsin Badgers on Oct. 4 will get started at noon on FOX, according to a Big Ten release.

Michigan is 49-15-1 all-time against the Badgers, who are 2-2 on the season under head coach Luke Fickell. Its losses have come to Alabama and Maryland, while it has beaten Miami (OH) and Middle Tennessee State. U-M’s last game in the series came in a 38-17 win in Madison in 2021.

It will be the return of Michigan head coach Sherrone Moore to the sideline, who just served a two-game school-imposed suspension for the Central Michigan and Nebraska games.

“Missed the players, missed the coaches, staff,” Sherrone Moore said during his Monday press conference. “Vibes, energy are high. Vibes and energy were high when I left for Central. Felt like we had a really good week of preparation, and we played well. And like we did the same with the Nebraska game, and just wild with the connection of this team. They’re just completely locked into the task at hand, and what we need to do and how we need to get better. Always things to fix and correct, but how they played was the most important piece. We really emphasized that as to how, it wasn’t the what, it was the how. And there’s things we thought we had to change and fix and do a little bit different. And really adapt to our players and adapt to the people that we have in the building now. Not to what we’ve always done or anything like that.

“So I felt really good about that and really want to talk about our team, our players. Not my week, not what happened. ‘What was Coach Moore doing for eight days?’ Like, worry about the players, this team. Because the team right now is the most important thing. These players are the most important thing. What they’ve done, how they’ve handled everything, how they’ve done everything, how the coaches have — they’ve just continued to attack this right now. And that’s all I’m worried about. That’s all I’m worried about is these players. I got numerous text messages at 12:05, 12:01. Then seeing all these guys come in yesterday. Just overwhelming love for these players and team. So that’s what I want to talk about. Just the players.”
