INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. — Since he became FOX Sports’ premier color commentator for college football, former Colorado quarterback Joel Klatt has been known as one of the sharpest minds and analysts in the sport.

Every year at Big Ten media days, we have a chance to have a one-on-one with Klatt to discuss that state of Michigan football, going back to before WolverinesWire launched in the summer of 2018. With Big Ten media days resuming after a year off, we got a chance to catch up with Klatt to discuss the state of the program.

Though there’s both local and national consternation when it comes to Jim Harbaugh and the Wolverines, Klatt doesn’t see it as an abysmal or dismal situation in Ann Arbor. While he isn’t predicting that the maize and blue will emerge as the best in the conference, he shares his thoughts on how close or far away Michigan is, what it needs to do to succeed as early as this year, his thoughts on the quarterback battle and much more.
