Where to watch Michigan vs. East Carolina today: TV schedule, channel, live stream for Week 1 college football game

After a Week 0 primer, college football kicks off in earnest this week. With several Thursday games already in the books, Saturday will feature some football powerhouses playing early.

One of those is No. 2 Michigan, looking to bounce back after a loss to TCU in the Fiesta Bowl last season. The Wolverines will be without Jim Harbaugh, who is serving a suspension to start the season, but the Big House's raucous atmosphere should bring the heavily-favored Ann Arbor squad some comfort.

Michigan will be going up against East Carolina, marking the first time the two schools have played each other.

It will be J.J. McCarthy and Blake Corum heading up the Wolverine backfield, whereas ECU has entirely new look with Mason Garcia taking the reins of the offense.
