No. 8 Michigan is off to a 6-0 start to the season and it enters a needed bye week — time to get some players healthy for the second half.
The Wolverines enter the bye week with a Big Ten championship still in reach and they are playing better than most people would have thought. There were many people in the media that had Michigan sitting at anywhere from 3-3 to 4-2 or 5-1 going into the bye — didn’t see many, if any, 6-0 predictions.
This season is night-and-day different from last year. The offense has an identity, the running backs are rushing at a high level, and the defense is a completely new animal this year — it is aggressive and the defense is forcing some key turnovers at crucial times.
Michigan has also faced some adversity in the first half of the year, but it prevailed in the end — something last year’s squad wasn’t able to do.
Here is our midseason review and here are five things that we have learned about the Michigan Wolverines.
