1. Michigan Wolverines playing out of their minds for Jim Harbaugh
You can’t call it hype any more, because the hype is real with Jim Harbaugh’s Michigan Wolverines (No. 22). For the second weekend in a row, Harbaugh’s defense pitched a shutout and his offense piled up the yards on the ground to keep those chains moving, beating Maryland 28-0 on Saturday afternoon.
It was the first road victory for the Wolverines after losing by a touchdown to Utah to open the season, and it’s becoming quite clear this team is completely sold out to the way Harbaugh is running his program.
Just like he had at Stanford and then in San Francisco, Harbaugh’s Wolverines are winning with defense — a fact senior linebacker Desmond Morgan appreciates.
“There’s definitely an attitude,” said Morgan, via the Associated Press. “There’s a D that we want to be, and that D is kind of nasty and mean and known for stopping the run and making big plays.”
With two shutouts in a row, Michigan’s defense will be tested once again in Week 6 when Northwestern comes to The Big House.
