Something is amiss in Ann Arbor. Even with the moderate success the Michigan Wolverines have had in this football season so far...something still feels off kilter. Saturday night's loss in the Coliseum against USC was not just another loss against a ranked opponent; it was a reflection of what the Wolverines are. An average team with a fairly easy schedule that still underperforms when the national spotlight is upon them.
Losing Justice Haynes to an injury was a devastating blow to the Michigan offense. But what was even more glaring once Haynes exited, was that the Michigan Wolverines have not fully left the ghosts of last year in the past.
