Michigan Football: 5 key takeaways from Wolverines first two games
The bye will prove to be a godsend
As I said, there is no reason to panic about this Michigan football team. One win against Wisconsin will change everything in terms of how this team is perceived.
You can bet Michigan will be motivated when it takes the field in Madison in two weeks. The Wolverines dropped three spots in the AP poll and their coach, as well as their starting quarterback, has taken tons of criticism.
The bye week will allow this team to work out the kinks, get healthy and re-focus on a challenging slate that includes seven teams ranked in the AP Top 25 right now.
The first key is getting Patterson healthy again. That should help restore his confidence, especially with his legs, which as you may recall, were pretty important in the win last season over the Badgers.

The Wolverines are the more talented team and they should win the game. It’s just a matter of this team living up to its potential and the bye should help this team finally hit on all cylinders.
