Ann Arbor — It feels like forever ago Michigan opened the season with a seven-point loss at Notre Dame. As the Wolverines prepare to go on the road for the first time since, they’re feeling confident and mature.
Michigan (3-1, 1-0 Big Ten) is ranked No. 14, having moved up five spots after dismantling Nebraska in the Big Ten opener last Saturday as they head to Northwestern (1-2, 1-0) this weekend. The Wolverines have scored 150 points the last three games, the defense is now ranked third nationally, nice things — gasp! — are being said about the offensive line play, and quarterback Shea Patterson ranks 18th nationally with a 70.
