Michigan Football: 3 key takeaways from Wolverines win over Iowa

Don’t Overlook Illinois

Michigan football cannot afford a stumble heading into a very winnable duel on the road next week. A matchup like Iowa can take a lot out of a squad with how the game was played. Battling like they did today will make for a sore body in the week that goes on and that can play a role in the next outing. Timely rest needs to be a key in the days going forward.

Getting healthy and getting right on offense has got to be the plans when traveling to Illinois next Saturday.

The maize and blue must treat this road test seriously because transfer quarterback Brandon Peters definitely has this one circled on his calendar if he plays. He’ll scratch and claw his way to prove that Michigan should have not let him walk away.

In conclusion, Harbaugh’s bunch must go in and take care of business without peeking towards Penn State.

Lovie Smith‘s guys are salivating for a signature moment in this series that they haven’t had in a decade. So the mindset and focus have to remain on doing everything in its power to get the job done successfully.
