December 2nd, 2021 seems like a long time ago. In football years, it feels like an eternity.
Michigan beat Iowa 42-3 to win the Big Ten Championship on that winter day in Indianapolis, and now a rematch is on tap Saturday afternoon.
This time the game will be at Kinnick Stadium in Iowa City — a place where Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh mentioned a phrase fans use — Kinnick Stadium is a place where “top-five teams go to die”.
It’s far too early in the year to suffer that kind of fate, but it won’t be easy sledding.
