MICHIGAN — After a strange, shortened 2020 season due to the coronavirus pandemic, the Big Ten released its 2021 football schedule Friday, giving Michigan and Michigan State fans their first look at who their team will be playing next season.
Of note, Michigan State will get to host Michigan in 2021 after traveling to Ann Arbor in back-to-back seasons in the annual rivalry game.
Michigan, meanwhile, will host arch-rival Ohio State after the 2020 matchup was canceled due to concerns surrounding the coronavirus.
