Ever since Michigan football pounded the Florida Gators in the Citrus Bowl on Jan. 1, the anticipation for the 2016 season has been high, higher than any season in quite some time.
The last time the Wolverines were ranked this high (No.8 in Preseason Poll) going into a season was back in 2007, when Michigan football was coming off an 11-2 season and were within a win of playing for the national championship.
That season, the Wolverines had Chad Henne, Mike Hart, Mario Manningham, jake Long and defensive stalwarts like Brandon Graham and Shawn Crable.
