I’m not going to sit here and tell you that the 24-17 loss to Notre Dame this past Saturday night didn’t hurt. After all the hype surrounding Michigan football during the offseason, the opener was a total letdown.
I’ve seen all the opinions and read all the articles about why they lost and why they’re the same team that went 8-5 last season. Realistically, much of what was said is true, and it’s completely valid to question the team’s game plan and vision at this point.
However, 11 games remain on the schedule, and the Fighting Irish are a better team than many suspected.
