More on the Matchup

This season, the Boilermakers claimed their first Big Ten west division title following a 30-16 win over Indiana on Nov. 26. Purdue is chasing its ninth Big Ten title and first since 2000 when it shared the championship with Northwestern and Michigan.

The Wolverines return to the Big Ten conference championship for the second consecutive year. Last season, Michigan took down Iowa 42-3 for its 43rd Big Ten title and first since the conference switched to a two-division alignment in 2011.

This matchup marks the 60th meeting between the teams with Michigan leading the all-time series 45-14 including wins in the past five matchups. However, this is the first meeting between the two since 2017 in West Lafayette, Ind.
