ANN ARBOR, MI (WKZO AM/FM) – The University of Michigan football team, unranked in the preseason for the first time since coach Jim Harbaugh’s debut season in 2015, will host host Western Michigan University Saturday afternoon. Kick-off is set for 12 noon.
The Wolverines were winless at home during the pandemic-shortened season. They finished 2020 with two wins, four losses and three games canceled due to a COVID-19 breakout.
The Broncos were 4-2 last season, playing only Mid-American Conference schools. They return 19 starters on both sides of the ball. Kaleb Eleby is back under center after throwing 18 touchdown passes and just two interceptions last season.
Harbaugh named Cade McNamara his starter on Monday.
