After an underwhelming game against Oklahoma, the Wolverines responded by beating Central Michigan 63-3 on Saturday afternoon. Bryce Underwood played so favorably that, apparently, a golden retriever could coach him. Truly a nice sentiment, but Michigan still has not shown what it can actually be, three games into the season.
It remains to be seen what the Wolverines' identity actually is. In certain moments, the defense seems dominating and domineering when facing opponents with talent disadvantages. In other moments, the offense and Byrce Underwood seem to find their way, and everything looks fairly easy. It's in those moments when Michigan looks like a viable team in the Big Ten.
