One of the season’s marquee non-conference games lands Saturday, September 12, with Oklahoma heading into Michigan Stadium to face Michigan in Ann Arbor. It’s a noon kickoff with national attention, a packed Big House crowd, and a quarterback matchup that should drive the whole afternoon.
The game is set for 12:00 PM Eastern Time / 11:00 AM Central Time at Michigan Stadium in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
FOX has the primary national television broadcast, and the matchup will air in the network’s Big Noon Kickoff window. Fans can watch through their local FOX affiliate, with pre-game coverage rolling early from Ann Arbor and covering player matchups, tactical breakdowns, and live atmosphere updates.
For viewers who want to stream the game, FOX Sports App will carry the official feed for users who authenticate with a cable provider or television subscription. Fubo also offers live FOX coverage and a free trial for new subscribers. Hulu + Live TV, YouTube TV, and Sling TV are also options for subscribers who have local FOX access in their channel lineup.
Radio listeners can follow along through the Michigan Sports Network, which will provide pre-game coverage and live play-by-play across Michigan affiliates.
On the field, Michigan is leaning on true sophomore quarterback Bryce Underwood to run the offense, supported by a deep skill group and a physical offensive line. Oklahoma brings a fast, high-scoring attack into one of college football’s toughest road environments.
The game also comes as a rematch of last year’s battle, adding another layer to a matchup that already carries major weight. Both teams are looking to leave with a significant non-conference win early in the season.

Urban Meyer Sees A Bigger Michigan QB Problem Than Fans Realize
Urban Meyer spent part of The Triple Option Podcast looking beyond the usual chatter around Michigans quarterback room and zeroing in on what he sees as the real issue. He pointed to the relationship between head coach Kyle Whittingham and Bryce Underwood, but also noted that the young quarterback is still physically underdeveloped, which adds another layer to a situation fans have mostly framed as a simple depth-chart discussion.
Meyer also brought Tommy Carr into the picture as a possible source of competition, and his larger point was clear enough: Whittingham will lean on whoever gives the team the best chance to win. The early schedule only sharpens the pressure, because Meyer suggested a loss to Oklahoma could force significant changes around the team, leaving Michigans quarterback situation even more unsettled than it already looks.

Michigan Has A New Pass Rusher Facing His First Real Test
Dom Nichols wasted little time making his presence felt in his first start, setting the tone for Michigans edge rush in the opener against Western Michigan. The production was there, but so was the broader message from coaches and teammates, who have pointed to Nichols as a player whose physical and mental growth has quickly made him a factor in the defense.
Now the challenge gets bigger. Nichols is already looking ahead to Oklahoma and quarterback John Mateer, and he knows the next test will be a better measure of where his game stands against a skilled, experienced opponent. For Michigan, that makes Nichols one of the more interesting pieces to watch as the matchup gets tighter and the pass rush is asked to hold up under real pressure. [Read more 🡒]
Michigan Hockey Faces Disturbing Lawsuit Over What The Program Allowed
A federal lawsuit filed in Detroit has put a long shadow over Michigan hockey, with 16 former players accusing the program of tolerating ritualized sexual hazing from 1984 through 2001. The complaint says coaches and staff knew about humiliating and abusive initiation practices and allowed them to continue, naming longtime figures such as Red Berenson and Mel Pearson as part of the environment the plaintiffs say enabled the conduct.
The university has not yet formally responded, and the case now pushes beyond the sport itself into the question of how much a high-profile program can be held accountable for what happened inside it. The former players are seeking financial damages, along with prevention training meant to keep similar behavior from being repeated, leaving Michigan to confront a deeply serious allegation that reaches back across nearly two decades of its hockey history.
