Michigan Football and the University of Southern California are scheduled to meet this fall for the first time as Big Ten foes since last November, but the start time and TV channel have not been released.
That changed on Tuesday when it was announced that the Wolverines will face the Trojans in Week 4 on September 21 at 3:30pm on CBS (streaming on Paramount+).
This is the fourth known start time for UM’s 2024 calendar. It was announced on Monday that the Wolverines will open their season under the lights at 7:30 pm against Fresno State and close out their regular season against Ohio State in their typical fashion; at noon on Fox in Columbus, Ohio, on November 30.
The meeting between USC and Michigan will be the Trojans’ first Big Ten matchup. UM is 4-6 all-time against USC, but the two haven’t faced each other in more than 15 years, since USC beat Michigan, 32-18, in the 2007 Rose Bowl.
Michigan is also scheduled to tip off at noon on Fox against Texas in Week 2.
