The 2024 Michigan Wolverines football team is an American football team that represents the University of Michigan in the Big Ten Conference during the 2024 NCAA Division I FBS football season. Led by first-year head coach Sherrone Moore, the Wolverines play home games at Michigan Stadium in Ann Arbor, Michigan.

Jim Harbaugh, who was the head coach for the Michigan Wolverines from 2015 to 2023, winning three consecutive Big Ten championships and a national championship in 2023, departed to become the head coach of the Los Angeles Chargers of the National Football League (NFL). Jesse Minter, the defensive coordinator, joined Harbaugh at the same position for the Chargers. Michigan replaced Minter with Don Martindale, who was the defensive coordinator for the Baltimore Ravens and New York Giants from 2018 to 2023. They also promoted quarterbacks coach Kirk Campbell to offensive coordinator, replacing Sherrone Moore’s previous post.

Despite starting the season 4–1, with a sole loss to No. 3 Texas, Michigan struggled to replicate their success from the previous season, falling to 5–5 before winning their final two regular season games. This included a 13–10 upset victory against rival No. 2 Ohio State at Ohio Stadium, despite entering the game as 20.5 point underdogs. It marked the fourth consecutive win against the Buckeyes, the longest streak for the Wolverines since 1988–91, and the largest upset in the series history.[1]

Following the regular season, Michigan fired Kirk Campbell as offensive coordinator, and promoted tight ends coach Steve Casula on an interim basis for the postseason. On December 31, Michigan will play No. 11 Alabama in the ReliaQuest Bowl at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida, a rematch of last season’s Rose Bowl (CFP semifinal).

On October 19, following its first bye week, Michigan lost to Illinois, 21–7, at Memorial Stadium in Champaign, Illinois. Illinois wore 1924 throwback uniforms to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Red Grange's six-touchdown game against Michigan on the day Memorial Stadium was dedicated.[33]

On the opening drive of the game, Illinois drove 46 yards on seven plays, including a 29-yard run by Aidan Laughery, and took the lead on a 47-yard field goal by David Olano. Michigan punted on its first two possessions. On its third possession, quarterback Jack Tuttle fumbled at Michigan's 25-yard line, setting up a 32-yard field goal by Olano. On Michigan's next possession, Donovan Edwards fumbled and Illinois recovered the ball at midfield. The Illini then drove 51 yards on seven plays, scoring on a two-yard touchdown pass from Luke Altmyer to Tanner Arkin. Trailing, 13-0, Michigan then drove 72 yards on 12 plays, including eight runs by Kalel Mullings, ending with a one-yard touchdown run by Mullings. Illinois drove 49 yards in the closing two minutes of the first half, but Olano's field-goal attempt from 44 yards was blocked by Makari Paige. Illinois led 13–7 at halftime.[34][35]

On the opening drive of the second half, Michigan was held to a three-and-out. Illinois then drove 55 yards in eight plays, including a 36-yard run by Tanner Arkin on a fake punt, and ending with a one-yard touchdown run by Altmyer and a two-point conversion pass from Donovan Leary to Zakhari Franklin. Michigan's next two drives combined for 14:13 of game time, however, they failed to score any points due to a blocked 28-yard field goal try by Dominic Zvada and an interception thrown by Tuttle at the Illinois two-yard line. Michigan's offense was held scoreless by the Fighting Illini for the final 31:40 of the game. This was Illinois' first victory against Michigan since 2009.[34][35][36]

Michigan scored only seven points against an Illinois defense that gave up 49 points to Purdue one week earlier. It was Michigan's lowest point total since a 31-0 loss to Notre Dame in September 2014.[37] Quarterback Jack Tuttle made his first start of the season for Michigan and completed 20 of 32 passes for 208 yards (129 in the fourth quarter) with one interception and a fumble. Tuttle was also sacked five times.[38] After the game, CBS broadcaster Brian Jones described Michigan's offense as "pathetic" and "embarrassing" and noted that Tuttle "couldn't hit the side of a building."[39]

Ohio State scored the final points of the quarter via a ten-yard touchdown pass from Will Howard to Jeremiah Smith. The score was tied, 10–10, at halftime. Ohio State was held scoreless in the second-half. After a scoreless third quarter, Michigan scored the final points on a game-winning 21-yard field goal by Zvada with 45 seconds remaining.[54]

The win marked the fourth consecutive against the Buckeyes, the longest streak for the Wolverines since 1988–91, Michigan’s first victory over Ohio State while unranked since 1993, Michigan’s first victory over Ohio State in Columbus while unranked since 1966, and the largest upset in the series history.[55][56][57] With his 54-yard field goal in the second quarter, Dominic Zvada extended his program record of 50-plus yard field goals to seven on the season.[58]

Following the conclusion of the game, a fight broke out between members of the two teams after members of the Wolverines attempted to plant a flag at midfield. The skirmish ended with a few players and coaches bloodied and several players having been pepper sprayed by members of law enforcement.[59]
