A history of bye weeks for Michigan under Jim Harbaugh

Michigan is undeniably flying high right now.

The Wolverines bludgeoned No. 15 Wisconsin by 25. Devin Bush and the defense stifled No. 24 Michigan State, all while Donovan Peoples-Jones morphed into Paul Bunyan.

With all that momentum, a nameless and faceless opponent enters the arena: the bye week. Complacency lurks around the corner.

Since Jim Harbaugh came to Ann Arbor, his teams are 2-1 the game after a break. A deeper look at those three games shows that his teams gather some rust with time off.
