The Michigan Wolverines beat Purdue by 28 points and somehow the performance still felt “meh.” After a fast start, the Wolverines dragged their feet for the better part of two quarters before exploding to close the game with touchdowns on three of their final four possessions.

In this most recent performance, Michigan kept its play-calling close to the chest. Despite the clear advantage on the perimeter, the Wolverines were content to only exploit this advantage when necessary and to NEVER have quarterback J.
