13 Nov
Summary
- No. 18 Michigan faces Northwestern in a Big Ten rivalry game at Wrigley Field
- Michigan is looking to stay in playoff contention, while Northwestern aims to end a two-game losing streak
- Unseasonably warm 60-degree weather expected for the game
On Saturday, November 13, 2025, No. 18 Michigan and Northwestern will meet in a Big Ten rivalry game at Wrigley Field in Chicago. The Wolverines, who moved up in the College Football Rankings from a debut at No. 21, are looking to stay in playoff contention after their third consecutive victory two weeks ago. Meanwhile, the Wildcats are hoping to end a two-game losing streak following their defeat at USC last Friday.
Despite the recent cold weather in Chicago, with temperatures falling below freezing and winds howling at 25-30 mph during the Bears' game just six days earlier, Wrigley Field is expected to see unseasonably warm 60-degree weather for this "home" game on Northwestern's schedule. Both teams will be eager to take advantage of the favorable conditions and secure a crucial conference win.
Michigan coach Sherrone Moore has emphasized the urgency and preparation of his team, stating that the Wolverines must "attack it right now" to make the most of their opportunities. The team's rushing attack, led by sophomore Jordan Marshall, has been a key strength, with the Wolverines leading the FBS with seven rushing plays of 50 yards or more, including six for touchdowns.
