The team finished 9-3 and it could have easily been a lot worse had Jimbo Fisher not rounded the troops so to speak. The defense looked a lot better in the second half of the season, and the offense started clicking as well to finish among the best in the nation.
It’s a great achievement to be able to play a team like Michigan in a NY6 bowl game considering the start to the season.
Michigan finished their season (10-2) with an overtime loss to Ohio State to finish their regular schedule.
They began their season with some gimme wins over Hawaii, Central Florida and a decent team in Colorado.
