One of the most popular questions that everyone is asking themselves after Michigan football’s decimation of Notre Dame last weekend is, “Where the heck has this team been and why didn’t we see it sooner?”
That’s a fair and valid question to ask, because the ingredients have obviously been there all along. The blowout loss at Wisconsin was, at the time, one of the lowest points for the Jim Harbaugh era and what it really did was emphasize was how many problems they had coming out of the Middle Tennessee and Army games.
The truth of the matter is that this performance on Saturday was born out of the Wisconsin loss, which forced the staff and team to hit the reset button over the next number of weeks.
