The Michigan Wolverines had been in these spots before. Off-schedule offensively to start the game. On their toes on the road against a good team. Having to find a way to dig deep in a tough environment. But Saturday’s 49-24 win at Minnesota was different.
So often in these types of contests, we would watch a team take the field that was not sure if it was ready for the big moment, especially with the lights shining the brightest. They do not get any brighter than a Saturday Night Football game on ABC with ESPN’s College GameDay kicking things off.
