Ann Arbor — There is a confidence among the Michigan offensive linemen that has swelled the last three weeks as the rushing numbers have ballooned.
Michigan is 3-1 and ranked No. 22 nationally, and much of its recent offensive success has come from the running game.
And it’s the line, which has been bullied the last two years, that finally is getting praise.
Michigan has rushed for 200-plus yards the last three weeks after opening the season with 76 at Utah.
“It’s an awesome feeling knowing when you go to the line of scrimmage, looking into a guy’s eyes that you know you have him beat already,” right guard Kyle Kalis said.
