Ann Arbor — After three weeks of staying focused while going through the motions, fluffing statistics, and sitting near the top of the national rankings, Michigan got a huge dose of reality with the start of Big Ten play.
There were lots of questions about the No. 4 Wolverines after the first three games. Had they been tested? What does anyone really know about them? Is there a pass rush? Is J.J. McCarthy the answer?
A couple of those will need time to be answered during the season, but what’s clear is the fact the Wolverines had not been tested, the defense has some work to do, and running back Blake Corum is vital.
