This Michigan defense is special. Not a hyperbolic, pompous take, but the proprietors of the Revenge Tour are the closest thing we will ever see to the Charles Woodson led unit of 1997; except this defense is better.
Last Friday, John U. Bacon wrote a piece for The Detroit News discussing the similarities between the two dominating units:
“Michigan’s defense is so talented, so well-coached, and so hungry, you can’t wait to see what they’ll do next. The last time I saw that was 21 years ago, in 1997, when Michigan won the national title behind a certain player named Charles Woodson, the only defensive player ever to win the Heisman Trophy.
