Practices during bowl games are always insightful and here are five things we learned about Michigan football during Peach Bowl preparations.

When it comes to making a bowl game there are a couple of reasons why it’s important for Michigan football. One making a major bowl game like the Peach Bowl matters and two, it matters because you get extra practices.

Regardless what game teams are playing in, they want to win, there is no doubt about that. However, the week and the practices leading up to the game can be just as important during the long term.

For Michigan football, there are a number of things to focus on this week. Michigan is losing players at a bunch of key positions and replacing them is going to be an important item on the Wolverines to-do list. That can be where bowl week comes in.

With Michigan also having a bunch of guys that don’t plan to play, it makes things even more wide open. Not only will there be extra reps in practice but also more reps available in the games.

A lot of players have stepped up and stood out this week according to various reports, however, there have been other things we have learned as well. We have learned about guys not playing in the Peach Bowl, injury updates and more.

Maybe the best news is about up-and-coming talent. A number of those guys have turned heads and with all that in mind, here are five of the most important things we learned this week.
