Michigan's win against New Mexico on Saturday night demonstrated two things. One being that the Wolverines' receiving Alabama transfer, Justice Haynes, proved to pay dividends. His career-high 159 yards and three touchdowns were instrumental in the Wolverines' victory. And while the excitement around Bryce Underwood did not exactly dissipate following the 34-17 win, there is one thing that the Michigan fans cannot ignore.
It is the glaring observation that the Wolverines continued to flirt with disaster. In the second quarter, after a trick play and a kickoff fumble from the Michigan special teams, the New Mexico Lobos pulled within 17-10.
