This is one of the better Mondays of the Jim Harbaugh era. Michigan came out and dominated Wisconsin despite some early mistakes and an inspired effort from Jonathan Taylor.

In the first leg of a three-step gauntlet, the Wolverines nearly tripled the Vegas spread, beating the Badgers in every way possible. Pep Hamilton had his best game as a Michigan coordinator and Don Brown quickly figured out Wisconsin’s offense.

This was awesome.

The Game

Michigan’s habit of shooting itself in the foot early made its weekly appearance as the Wolverines limped to a scoreless first quarter.
