I watched a lot of football yesterday, but all I really wanted to do was watch the Michigan game over and over and over. I loved hearing Chris Spielman say that Michigan just put the rest of the B1G on notice. And then, I turn on College Football Sunday and hear Kevin Carter recommend that Alabama do what Michigan is doing. Wait! What? Alabama, the golden child of college football, needs to do what Michigan, Michigan is doing. Could you say that again? For the past 7 years, minus that one 11-2 season, Michigan has been the laughing stock of college football. But now, we're the example of what top tier teams should do? That's right, cuz we got Harbaugh. And, This. Is. Michigan.
This is the Michigan of old. A traditional run offense from the power I formation with a defense that plays hard and gives up nothing. I saw a stat this morning that made me giddy. 2nd in overall YPG allowed. 5th in pass YPG allowed. 10th in rush YPG allowed. 4th in points per game allowed. That is what a Michigan defense is supposed to do.
I realize this is only one game, but that sure was fun to sit back and watch a relaxing rout of a ranked team. To say, 'We're back', might be just a bit premature, but we certainly are on our way back. The offense it's finding it's rhythm. The defense in clicking on all cylinders. The special teams are so close to getting one blocked. And that coaching staff, I just can't say enough about the job they've done in these first 4 games.
Go Blue!
