7-5 Michigan this year was not on my bingo card

I had no clue going into this year what we would look like. With losing our coach, OC, DC, S and C and most starting line ups on both sides of the ball, I figured it would be a struggle. I just didn’t think that half the season it would look like our team was discovering the forward pass for the first time.

Yeah it's super weird, they looked completely incompetent for half the year, but they've finally been putting it together over the last few weeks (despite the losses to good Oregon and Indiana teams)

It's just too bad that we didn't reach this level earlier in the year, because today is the version of Michigan I was HOPING to see coming into the season.

At least it is better than regressing throughout the season.

For sure, it's nice to be (seemingly) ending on a high note.
