Michigan is off again in Week 15 after cancelling its game against Ohio State due to COVID-19. The Wolverines last played in Week 13, dropping to 2-4 on the season following a 27-17 loss at Penn State. Quarterback Cade McNamara was held to 91 yards passing as Hassan Haskins carried the offensive load with 101 rushing yards and two touchdowns. UM was unable to find an answer for Penn State's run game, which piled up 254 yards and three scores on the ground.
Michigan is in its sixth season under head coach Jim Harbaugh. The former UM quarterback has guided his alma mater to three 10-win seasons and two New Year's Six bowl game appearances. The Wolverines won nine games in 2019 and finished No. 14 in the final College Football Playoff poll, but Michigan faces a learning curve in 2020 as it replaces multi-year starters on both sides of the ball.
Here is the complete 2020 Michigan football schedule, including opponents, results and players to watch.

Top returning players
Michigan's 2019 roster was one of the more veteran-heavy groups that Harbaugh has coached in his first five years in Ann Arbor. That experience translated to 10 players being taken in the 2020 NFL draft. Among the draftees were five defensive starters and four starting offensive lineman. Replacing that type of experience comes over time. But the Wolverines still have some notable contributors from last year ready to take another step forward.
Whether it's Joe Milton or Cade McNamara at quarterback this season, the offensive constant for the Wolverines will likely be running back Zach Charbonnet. The tailback put together a strong freshman year with 726 rushing yards and 11 touchdowns, despite receiving fewer than 10 carries in seven games. Those numbers stand out even more considering Michigan used a two-man backfield in 2019. Hassan Haskins still figures to get his share of touches, but Charbonnet appears poised for a breakout in his sophomore season.
While replacing a multi-year starter at quarterback, the bigger question in Ann Arbor this season is how well Michigan handles the roster turnover on defense. The Wolverines had five defensive starters drafted to the NFL in April in addition to players graduating. The positions that appeared to be hit hardest are the linebackers and defensive backs. With Josh Uche and Khaleke Hudson gone, junior Cameron McGrone could become the heartbeat of Michigan's defense. He was an All-Big Ten honorable mention in 2019 after recording 65 tackles (9 for loss), 3.5 sacks, 5 quarterback hurries and a forced fumble.
In the secondary, look for junior defensive back Vincent Gray to take on a bigger role. He appeared in all 13 games last year, though he only made one start on defense. Despite the limited snaps, he was tied for third on Michigan's defense with five passes broken up. The Wolverines lost three starters at defensive back this offseason, clearing a path for Gray to take on a much bigger role in 2020.
Preseason ranking
We had Michigan at No. 15 in our preseason Top 25. Here’s that breakdown:
15. Michigan
The Wolverines are still way behind rival Ohio State. If 2019 wasn't the year, when can Jim Harbaugh and Michigan do it? The quarterback battle is something to watch (Dylan McCaffrey or Joe Milton). LB Cameron McGrone should be a leader on defense.
