The University of Michigan football team is undefeated for the first time since 2006 after steamrolling Illinois on homecoming Saturday.
There weren’t many nits to be picked then and there aren’t now; the 2016 Wolverines are every bit as good as every Michigan football team since 1997 and it showed again on Saturday.
Illinois is not good, but it wasn’t so long ago that bad teams could travel to Ann Arbor and hang tough with–if not defeat–the home team.
Not so this year.
Once Ty Wheatley Jr. snagged a twenty-one yard touchdown pass to put Michigan up 14-0 with more than half of the first quarter remaining, it seemed like both teams knew the game was over.
