Wojo: Appetizers done after 59-0 rout, Wolverines ready to feast for real

Ann Arbor — Thank goodness that’s over. Michigan’s noncompetitive nonconference ended mercifully Saturday against no-contest UConn. The Big Ten schedule is next, and the 3-0 Wolverines might muster one concern: Don’t fall for the con.

They beat Connecticut 59-0 at Michigan Stadium, again showing they can dominate a lesser foe without flexing, or barely sweating. With previous victories against Colorado State and Hawaii, they’ve outscored the opposition 166-17, including 103-0 in the first halves. Impressive? Sure. Impactful and sustainable? Not sure.
