The No. 8 Michigan Wolverines throttled the Colorado State Rams 51-7 in their home opener to kick off the 2022 season. With an impressive showing on offense and defense, it didn’t look like the defending Big Ten champs went anywhere in the offseason, despite notable changes.
Though this is only the first game of the season, it’s understandably hard to justify after one game that the Wolverines look like they haven’t faltered since last year. At the same time, it was hard to deny the defense’s tenacity to get to the quarterback, the offensive line forcing gaps for Michigan’s backfield and Jake Moody ensuring that Michigan scores points on drives that don’t work out looked really familiar.
