No. Nope, no, not this time, no.
How many times have we been here? How many times have the Harbaughverines started September looking like a legitimately fun, kickass team that might put something resembling the fear of God into the Buckeyes, only for them to fall flat on their faces within a few games?
Three times. I counted.
In 2017, Michigan played the Gators in Texas and put the screws to them. They only allowed Florida 11 total rushing yards and had an incredibly balanced offensive attack, winning 33-17. In 2019, the Wolverines started their season by pummeling Middle Tennessee State, 40-21.
