It’s exciting to see Michigan Football near the top of the polls this week and to think of the possibilities that might await this increasingly effective team. The loss to Notre Dame is now seen as a pretty “good” loss, and impressive performances against Wisconsin and Michigan State reflect the continuing dominance of the Wolverine’s defense and the emerging confidence of its quarterback.
Michigan football has momentum, and momentum is the indescribable component necessary to any successful title run. The Penn State game will be a true test of the Blue’s ability to play at a consistently high level from week to week; this season has demonstrated improvement in almost every area, but consistency has lagged slightly behind.
