Ohio State had hoped to be playing in the Big Ten Championship game on Saturday, but due to Michigan football taking down the Buckeyes, 30-24, OSU players will be sitting at home and watching the Wolverines and Hawkeyes on TV. And thus wearing whatever they want to.
Last year, the maize and blue were the home team and wore all-blues. Two years ago, also playing against Iowa, Michigan wore white tops and blue pants. However, after wearing all-blues against Ohio State, the Wolverines are going for a change.
According to the official Michigan football X (formerly Twitter) account, the Wolverines will wear all-white on Saturday in Indianapolis, along with white accessories.

The all-whites are a decent contrast to Iowa’s home black and gold the Hawkeyes generally (and are likely to) wear.
The Big Ten Championship game will kick off at 8 p.m. EST from Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis. It will be nationally broadcast on Fox.
