Ann Arbor — The offense is doing impressive things it hasn’t done before, pounding for tough yards, completing tight passes. The defense is doing crazy things it has done before, only more convincingly, more consistently.
The Wolverines put it all together as resoundingly as imaginable Saturday night, dismantling Wisconsin 38-13 at Michigan Stadium. But it wasn’t the outcome that resonated. It was the punishing way it was achieved. You wondered what would happen if Michigan ever developed a thumping offense to match its dominating defense, and perhaps we might find out.
Good timing for the Wolverines, because they’re about to jump from one physical clash to another.
