Following a dominant 52-7 victory over Indiana, the Michigan football team stands at 7-0, cementing itself as one of the best teams in the nation. If you were to only look at the final score, you would think that this game was smooth sailing for Michigan the whole way. However, this game represented one of the few times where things weren’t clinking on all cylinders for the Wolverines.
At the end of the first quarter of Saturday’s win, Michigan trailed by seven on the scoreboard and by 149 in total yards. The Michigan offense uncharacteristically went three-and-out on its first two possessions, while Indiana was making light work of the vaunted Wolverine defense, traveling down the field with ease.
