It wasn’t Brady Hoke and it’s not Jim Harbaugh. No, the last Michigan football head coach to beat a top-10 team was Rich Rodriguez. Yes, it’s been that long.
Saturday at the Big House, Michigan football will host the Wisconsin Badgers, the No.8 team in the country. A win would be the Wolverines’ first over a top-10 opponent since 2008, when they beat — you guessed it — Wisconsin.
This year, the Badgers come into the game as underdogs. Yet, seeing as Wisconsin beat both LSU and Michigan State, when they weren’t favored to, it doesn’t seem wise to put much stock in that.
