Michigan Looking to Become Bowl Eligible Against Undefeated UCLA
The Wolverines desperately need a victory to become bowl eligible, but knocking off the Bruins will be anything but easy. UCLA has been one of college football’s biggest surprises this season under first-year head coach Bob Chesney.
Michigan’s offense continues to struggle after head coach Kyle Whittingham reopened the quarterback competition between Tommy Carr and Bryce Underwood. The Wolverines managed just 71 passing yards against Oregon, raising additional questions about which quarterback will lead the offense against UCLA.

The Wolverines are also adjusting after Jim Harding was named interim offensive coordinator following the dismissal of Jason Beck. With only two regular-season games remaining, Michigan is running out of time to turn things around.
According to the official Michigan football schedule, the Wolverines will close the regular season on November 28 against Ohio State in Columbus. That rivalry matchup is scheduled for noon ET on FOX, making next Saturday’s game against UCLA Michigan’s final opportunity to secure bowl eligibility at home.
