The first four games of the season weren't perfect for Michigan football. At the same time, every single one of the Wolverines goals is still intact.
Here are four big-picture takeaways from Michigan's 3-1 start.
Michigan did what was needed in the first 1/4 of the season
Michigan dropped a game to an Oklahoma team that looks elite. The Wolverines won't be punished for that by the committee. The win at Nebraska was key. Before the season, the road trips to Oklahoma, Nebraska, and USC, along with the home game against Ohio State, as well as avoiding an upset against Sparty, were going to be the key to the season.
