Two truths and a lie from Michigan football's win over Minnesota

Lie: Michigan is a playoff team

Michigan football has been projected as a playoff team in a few brackets. It makes sense for right now, but I'm not willing to say this is a playoff team just yet.

USC is a great offensive team but they are still soft. They can't tackle and that's why Michigan won that game. Minnesota is inept on offense and still scored 24 points because the Wolverines defense worn down.

A blocked punt and a fumble gave Michigan football a short field twice. That's not sustainable and I have a hard time seeing the Wolverines beating Oregon or Ohio State with the current state of the passing game.

The Wolverines control their own destiny. They are in a solid position after five games, but they have to figure things out on offense, quickly, because if we saw what we saw on Saturday against Washington in Game 6, it could be a long night.

Washington is a flawed team too. The defense should be able to hold them down, but Michigan's offense can't be a liability and it has been the past two weeks in the second half outside of the game-winning drive against USC.
