4. No signs, no problem

Despite the fact that everyone is saying Michigan football has been involved in some insane cheating scandal, incredibly, the Wolverines have been dominating just as much without Connor Stalions as with him.

It’s almost as if he barely made a difference, which is the reality for anyone who understands football or doesn’t have their brain warped by Michigan hatred or envy.

Michigan was winning its Big Ten games by an average of 37 points before the sign-stealing allegations came out. They have won by an average of 38 since they came out.

Purdue had six points with 15 seconds left in the game. Without a garbage time touchdown, they don’t even find the end zone. I respect Ryan Walters for saying what he said on the record. He also said Michigan has a really good team.

So maybe we should just let this season play out because Connor Stalions or not, Michigan football is head and shoulders above most of the competition.

The Wolverines will be tested against Penn State this week and Ohio State in the final game, but it’s clear it hasn’t made any difference having the signs or not.
