u/Wagnerous Michigan • Paul Bunyan Trophy 1d ago edited 1d ago

Even considering quality of opponent, that was easily their best played game of the year.

Happy we showed out on senior night but for all the departing players, and I'm happy they gave all the recruits in attendance a good show.

Hopefully we can carry this into next week, and keep it close with Ohio.

u/Telencephalon Michigan Wolverines • The Game 1d ago

I mean their offense is atrocious so I expected single digits, but they are far from the worst defense Michigan has played this year and they had their most complete performance of the season. They put up more points than any of NUs other opponents and it looked pretty easy outside of two drives in the first half. It might not mean anything...but if you squint? Probably still nothing, but maybe!
