The Michigan Wolverines will take on Ohio State on Saturday sporting their all-blue uniforms.
When Ohio State visits Ann Arbour on Saturday, fans of the Wolverines will be wearing one of the most popular uniform combinations in the city. Michigan revealed on Friday that it will wear an all-blue alternate for the 119th time ever when it plays the Buckeyes.
Despite Ohio State’s eight victories in a row, the Wolverines have emerged triumphant in their last two meetings, winning both by a combined score of 87-50.
Some noteworthy things to consider before Saturday’s Top-Five matchup:
The Wolverines’ 21-game home winning streak is the longest under head coach Jim Harbaugh and the longest the programme has had since a 28-game winning streak under former head coach Bo Schembechler from 1969 to 1973.

This will be Michigan and Ohio State’s 61st meeting in Ann Arbour and their 50th at Michigan Stadium. U-M has a 32-+24-4 record in Ann Arbour versus OSU and a 24-22-3 record at Michigan Stadium.
Michigan and Ohio State will square off for the 26th time in a Top-10 game this coming Saturday. In those games, the Buckeyes have a 12-11-2 advantage.
