It wasn’t pretty — you know it, the national media knows it — heck, Jim Harbaugh knows it.

In the first three weeks, the national media has been somewhat mum on the Wolverines with more cursory mentions than anything, and there were even less in the Sunday takeaway columns. That’ll happen when you go scoreless in the second half against Rutgers and merely survive rather than assertively win.

Still, Michigan football is 4-0 with a reeling Wisconsin on deck. Some of the major outlets still weighed in on what they saw in the 20-13 win over Rutgers and while there are now abundant questions, there appears to be a recurring theme amongst the pundits across college football.
