Michigan will play its Big Ten crossover game at Iowa Saturday night, several sources informed TheWolverine.com. The conference made it official Sunday afternoon.

Big Ten sources informed us Friday that the conference was eyeing a Wolverines vs. Hawkeyes matchup as one of its crossover games. COVID has thrown a twist into "champions week," so it won't be 1 vs. 1, 2 vs. 2, etc. as previously hoped between Big Ten East and West teams.

Michigan beat Iowa 10-3 in Ann Arbor last year.

The Hawkeyes finished 6-2 this season, beating Wisconsin 28-7 in its last regular season game Saturday. Saturday's game will be broadcast on ESPN.
