Newsstand: Kickoff time set for Penn State game
Michigan football has another road test ahead of it on Saturday afternoon in the form of a trip to Indiana, but the details of the game that follows were revealed on Monday. Michigan’s Week 7 opponent – the Penn State Nittany Lions – will come to Ann Arbor for a 12 p.m. ET kickoff on FOX.
It will be the 4th-straight week that Michigan will have a game called by Gus Johnson (play-by-play), Joel Klatt (color commentary) and Jenny Taft (sideline reporter). As of now, the matchup would be between the 4th-ranked Wolverines and the 10th-ranked Nittany Lions. Penn State will be on a bye this week while Michigan travels to Bloomington to take on the Hoosiers.
The game against Penn State has been tabbed a Maize Out by Michigan. The Wolverines have been using their all-Maize uniform combo in promotional materials for the game.
Some have labeled Indiana a potential trap game for the Wolverines. It is not being treated that way with Michigan still rounding itself into form.

“Just attacking the day,” head coach Jim Harbaugh said. “We know it’ll be a big, big challenge. IU’s a darn good football team, always, always played us tough and good, similar to Iowa. Ton of respect for how they play. Consider them a blue-collar team that always has a lot of talented guys, and is really well-coached. So we’re gonna have to play good. It’s always gonna come down to that.
“However, whatever tag you put on a game, it comes down to if you play good, coach good and make sure that we’re prepared good. All the teams we play — this week, next week, every week after — we play good, we got a really good chance of winning, if we don’t play good, we got a really good chance to get beat.”
Saturday’s Michigan game at Indiana will kick off at 12 p.m. on FOX.
Tweets of the day
Michigan football quote of the day
Just a really good coach and he’s really good football coach who works extremely hard at the game. Contributes in so many ways — game day, day-to-day, coaching guys in the running game, in the pass game, always has really good, sound ideas and really good teacher, communicator, expert at protections and blitz pickups. Coaching the guys how to play the running back position, but it’s a lot more than that. I mean, it’s a lot more than just being able to coach a position. Go-to guy for me and the rest of the staff. He’s really good at what he does.
