The Michigan Wolverines are one of the darlings of the college football offseason. Team 144 returns the third-most production in the Power Five, a depth of talent and experience on both sides of the ball, and is the only team from last year’s College Football Playoff to return its starting quarterback.
Yes, all signs indicate that the 2023 iteration of the Wolverines could be one of the best the program has ever seen. It has been a while, but we have seen this level of expectation in Ann Arbor before.
In 2007, Michigan was fresh off a “Game of the Century” clash with Ohio State in Columbus, returned a massive amount of offensive production, and was one of the few BCS bowl teams to return its starting quarterback.
