Ouch. The Michigan Wolverines have played well twice and played poorly twice, and the most recent entry in this pattern resulted in an embarrassing loss to Arizona State on Thursday. While there is still a lot of room for this team to grow, the alternating performances should hopefully lead to a bounce-back on Sunday.
The Ohio Bobcats are sizable underdogs, but this is an offense that could punish any defensive efforts that look like the struggles in Brooklyn. As with most mid-major opponents, the Wolverines have the talent and athleticism advantage, but for a team this young that does not guarantee success, as any given night could see the game quickly go off the rails.
