Coming off of the most controversial victory in Week 1, the Michigan Wolverines are back at home on Saturday, September 12, 2026 hosting John Mateer and the No. 11 Oklahoma Sooners in a highly anticipated matchup. The game is set to begin at 12:00 p.m. EST and will air on FOX.
Plenty of pressure is on the Wolverines after a last-second (pending) touchdown pass helped the team secure a 13-12 victory over the Western Michigan Broncos in Week 1. Now, the team and especially QB Bryce Underwood will have plenty of heat ahead of this tough out of conference showdown.
As kickoff draws closer, there haven’t been many injury updates. Both teams are largely healthy.
