What Channel Is the Western Michigan Game on
Michigan quarterback Shea Patterson
After an opening weekend that didn't go exactly to plan, No. 21 Michigan (0-1) will look to get back on track when they stay close and play Western Michigan (0-1) on Saturday.
The game is scheduled to start at 12:00 p.m. ET and will be broadcast on Fox Sports 1. If you don't have cable or can't get to a TV, you can still watch a live stream of the game (or DVR it) on your computer, phone or streaming device by signing up for one of the following cable-free, live-TV streaming services:

Preview
The Wolverines didn't tumble too far after a 24-17 loss last week to the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, but going from No. 14 to No. 21 is steep enough to know another bad loss can erase you from the Top 25 completely.
Head coach Jim Harbaugh fell to 1-6 in games against the Wolverines' primary rivals (Ohio State, Michigan State and Notre Dame), and although he is nowhere close to being on the hot seat, he'll need an exemplary coaching performance for the duration of the season so his team can overcome their opening weekend loss.
Highly-touted quarterback Shea Patterson, who transferred from Ole Miss, was mediocre, mostly due to a porous offensive line, finishing 20-for-30 with 227 yards and an interception. The Wolverines' offense outside of Patterson wasn't much better, as they only mustered one touchdown and a field goal on offense. The other touchdown came when Ambry Thomas returned a kickoff 99 yards for a touchdown late in the second quarter.
Michigan's defense, returning nine starters from last season, was also creaky in the first half in South Bend against Notre Dame.
Despite an overwhelmingly disappointing effort, the Wolverines still only gave up 24 points and lost by a touchdown in a game most of the team looked rather lethargic. Western Michigan dug itself into a similar, gaping first-half hole last week against Syracuse. The Broncos went down 34-7 at halftime before putting up 28 points in the third quarter, but ultimately losing in a shootout to the Orange, 55-42.
The Wolverines return to the Big House in Ann Arbor with a mission, slow down Broncos quarterback Jon Wassink, who lit up the Orange for 379 yards and three touchdowns playing from behind last week.
