If you’d have said Michigan would be in position to win a Big Ten title back in August, you’d have been labeled a Harbaugh Happy Homer. The author knows this, because he lived it.
Because of it, these are strange bedfellows this college football makes. Michigan will be relegated to “rooting” for arch enemy Ohio State to defeat Michigan State at home so the Wolverines have that one-game shot at winning the Big Ten East and playing Iowa for a title.
The bottom line has been the theme of the New Michigan all season under Jim Harbaugh and staff, and that’s stingy red zone defense.
