The 2021 schedule is now complete, as the Broncos and Huskies sandwich a visit from this year’s Pac-12 champion Washington. One slot remains for 2022 and 2023, as Michigan is slated for a home-and-home with UCLA.
The Wolverines obliterated WMU 49-3 this past fall, and have taken all seven matchups in the series. NIU will visit Ann Arbor for the first time since a 33-17 defeat in 2005.
The Rams will make their first-ever trip to Michigan Stadium. The Wolverines topped them in the 1994 Holiday Bowl 24-14 — still the only other meeting between the programs.
