Media reactions to Michigan football spring game

Such a fun day for these players!

ANN ARBOR, Mich. — The Wolverines hosted fans and media on Saturday for their spring game. The game was free to attend, and the Michigan enthusiasts had a chance to watch their team — a chance to see what it may look like this fall.

It was a low-scoring game, Blue won 20-12, and the game was more on the defensive side, but there were still a good amount of big plays that happened. Players that usually wouldn’t see game action, like walk-ons or third-string players, had a chance to put together game tape on what they can do.

Fans also got a chance to see the new freshman that is on campus, like Will Johnson, Darrius Clemons, and Derrick Moore — to name a few.

It was a fun day to see these players compete, and there were plenty of reactions to the game.

Here are some media reactions to the Michigan spring game.

10 takeaways from the Michigan football spring game

We can’t wait until football season!

ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Football was in the air on Saturday at Michigan Stadium when the Wolverines had their first spring game in over two years. Jim Harbaugh led his squad out on the field for a Blue vs. Maize game.

Not only did the returning starters get to show off their talents, but we got to see some of the practice contributors — that we usually wouldn’t see in a game situation — and we got the pleasure of finally seeing some of the top-rated freshmen that are on campus for Michigan.

The Wolverines played four 12 minute quarters with a halftime intermission from Harbaugh’s former NFL quarterback, Collin Kaepernick. Harbaugh brought Kaepernick back as an honorary captain, and he got to throw for NFL scouts at halftime of the game.

There is a ton to be excited about if you’re a Michigan fan. The Wolverines are coming off the best season they’ve had in a long time with wins against Ohio State, a Big Ten championship, and going to the College Football Playoffs for the first time ever. There were plenty of players that impressed on Saturday during the spring game, which makes fans much more excited.

Here are our 10 takeaways from the game after Blue defeated Maize, 20-12.
