Revenge Tour 2.0

Remember the Revenge Tour from 2018 led by former Wolverine defensive end Chase Winovich?

That season, Michigan football took on a gauntlet of Wisconsin, Michigan State, and Penn State in three consecutive games against teams that had beaten them in the season before, winning all three games by a total score of 104-21.

Fast-forward to the 2021 season and the Wolverines have a chance to do something similar down the stretch as Michigan State, Indiana, and Penn State all defeated Michigan in 2020.

Throw in the recent history against Ohio State, and the Wolverines should have no shortage of motivation at any point to finish out the regular season.

Sitting at 6-0, Michigan football has all of its goals in front of them.

They have a path to not only Indianapolis for the Big Ten Championship game, but also to the College Football Playoff if they can get through these brutal final six games either unscathed or with one loss to the right team.

Michigan football fans will be eager to see it all unfold over the next six weeks, culminating in what is, hopefully, a pseudo-Big Ten East Championship game in Ann Arbor on November 27 against the Ohio State Buckeyes.
