Michigan Football vs Wisconsin: Important Takeaways from the Wolverines Win

Jourdan Lewis might be the nation’s best corner

During the first few weeks of the season, Jabrill Peppers was the most talked about defender on the Michigan football team. Yet, after the way Jourdan Lewis played Saturday against Wisconsin, that may not be the case anymore.

Lewis, who was an All-American last season, missed the first three games of the season, but showed Saturday, he’s back to being among the nation’s best.

The senior notched four tackles in the win, as well as a pass defensed. Yet, he saved his biggest play for last, as he made an eye-popping interception with less than three minutes remaining to clinch the victory.

While Peppers makes his own impact on the defense, having a corner like Lewis, who can shut down the opposing team’s best receiver is invaluable.
