Michigan Football: Breaking down the 2020 Non-conference schedule

Michigan football lost their bowl game, but it’s not time to dwell on the past. Here’s a look at the 2020 non-conference schedule.

In 2020, Michigan football won’t have any wonky mid-season non-conference matchups that we saw with the late-October game against Notre Dame. This year features a more traditional schedule with three contests before Big Ten play is initiated.

Beginning on September 5th, the Wolverines fly to Seattle to meet Washington, and then they will have back-to-back home games against Ball State and Arkansas State.

While the Huskies are sure to test UM, one of the teams everyone in the locker room has circled is Wisconsin. The Badgers blew out the Wolverine 35-14 in Madison, and those who remain on the team will surely be seeking revenge.

There is no relief as Penn State will be on deck the week after for another opportunity to take down one of the three opponents Michigan football failed to defeat in 2019.

UM hits the road against Michigan State and Minnesota in back-to-back weeks, and they won’t get a breather until after the match with Purdue on October 24th.

The last five weeks of the season go as follows: idle, Maryland, idle, Indiana, Ohio State.

Plenty of rest before the next installment of The Game.

Analyzing the conference games will come at a different time; however, as right now, we’re breaking down Washington, Ball State, and Arkansas State.
