Michigan Football vs UCF: 5 Takeways From the Wolverines Romp

The Michigan football team took care of business against another weaker opponent in UCF, but what did we find out about the Wolverines?

The Michigan football team got a little more competition this week from the Central Florida Knights, but at the end of the day, the result was the same.

The Wolverines crushed an inferior opponent Saturday at the Big House, knocking off UCF by the score of 51-14. The offense was good again, although the run game was not firing on all cylinders. The defense, minus some key pieces, also played well and despite allowing two touchdowns, there is nothing to necessarily panic about.

At this point in the college football season, it’s still hard to determine just how good you really are. The Wolverines may have a better idea next week, when they will host an improved Colorado team, or they may find out after that, with consecutive home games against Penn State and Wisconsin.

We did find that Michigan football has even more young players to be excited about and that some of the returning ones, are just as good, if not better than they were a year ago.

Overall, after two games, the Wolverines have to be pleased with their start. The defense is flying around, they are controlling the line of scrimmage and the quarterback position is producing.

More challenges lie ahead, but to delve deeper into what we saw Saturday, here are five takeaways from the Wolverines 37-point victory.
