Entering the season, the Michigan Wolverines’ defensive line appeared to face a near impossible challenge — rebuilding the pass rushing unit that had conquered the Big Ten one year ago.
While you can never truly replace titans like Aidan Hutchinson and David Ojabo, the rebuild looked more like a reloading of firepower on Saturday. With seven sacks and 11 tackles for a loss, Michigan’s defense got incredibly comfortable in the Colorado State backfield.
To senior Mike Morris, the outcome was never a surprise.
“I feel like in the edge room, and as a defensive line in total we put a chip on our shoulder,” Morris said.
