Michigan to Face Illinois on October 19

Michigan football is preparing for a crucial game against Illinois on October 19, following a bye week. The Wolverines, now ranked No. 24 after a recent loss to Washington, will face No. 23 Illinois at 3:30 p.m. ET, with CBS broadcasting the event. Both teams are looking to rebound after disappointing performances, with Michigan potentially starting a new quarterback, Jack Tuttle. Meanwhile, in a separate matchup, Michigan State's Homecoming game against Iowa is set for 7:30 p.m. on the same day, also televised on NBC. The Spartans are coming off three consecutive losses and will look to improve their 3-3 record against the Hawkeyes, who hold a slight lead in their all-time series. This weekend marks a significant opportunity for both Michigan and Michigan State to regain momentum in the Big Ten Conference.
