The Michigan Wolverines return from Oregon next week to host UCLA on Senior Day. The Big Ten released the kickoff times and TV designations for just a few of the Week 12 games earlier this week, but Michigan-UCLA was not one of them.
Well, now we have the answers that we were looking for. As (finally) announced by the Big Ten, Michigan vs UCLA will start at 3:30 p.m. and be aired on CBS.
The Game between
Michigan and Ohio State was already scheduled to kickoff at noon and be aired on FOX, so we now know the kickoff times and TV designations for the final two games for the Wolverines this season.
Led by first-year head coach Bob Chesney, UCLA is playing its best season of college football since the 2010s when it had back-to-back 10-win seasons in 2013 and 2014. In fact, the Bruins have never won more than 10 games in a single season, so this might be the year they pull that off. They are coming off a 22-14 win over Illinois on Friday night that advanced their record to 10-0 on the season.
Michigan is 8-3 in the all-time series against UCLA. The last time Michigan played UCLA was in 2000, a 23-20 loss in Pasadena. Michigan last hosted the Bruins in 1996, which was a 38-9 blowout win for the Wolverines.
