Just a little over a month ago, talking about Michigan football being on the cusp of becoming a great team would have been completely unwarranted and probably even laughable. But now, after a 4-1 start and two consecutive shutouts, it’s at least worth addressing.
The most common rebuttal will be, “No way, you need a better quarterback to be considered great.” While I will swiftly agree that Jake Rudock has been average at best, I won’t agree so quickly with the notion that you need a stud signal caller before you can join the top tier.
