Michigan Football: 5 Takeaways from the Wolverines’ 6-0 Start

There is no doubt, this is Michigan’s best team since 1997

Harbaugh came to Michigan to restore the Wolverines to greatness and he has done it in just two years.

Obviously, the Wolverines have work to do, in order to achieve what the 1997 team did, but the point is, they have a legitimate chance.

The defense is incredible and as last Saturday’s 78-0 nothing win showed, its nasty and mean. (Poor Rutgers).

The amount of NFL talent on this Michigan team is insane. Get ready to hear Michigan guys go early and often this April.

Jake Butt, Amara Darboh, Jehu Chesson, Chris Wormley, Maurice Hurst, Ryan Glasgow, Taco Charlton, Peppers, Jourdan Lewis and Channing Stribling are all sure to be drafted. Others like Speight, Ben Gideon and Mike McCray are all improving their stock rapidly as well.

The  talent is there; the coaching is there; the problem this season, might just be the schedule.

Road games at Michigan State and Iowa will be challenging and the final game against Ohio State, also on the road, will define the season.

Ultimately, the Wolverines may fall short of winning a National Championship or a Big Ten title, but that won’t change the fact that this is Michigan’s best team in years.
