Wojo: Michigan outslugs Iowa, despite sluggish performance from its offense

Ann Arbor – If the Wolverines play like this, with an attacking, smothering defense, they’ll be hard to beat. Of course, if they also play like this, with a sleepy, sluggish offense, they’ll be easy to beat.

Ah, the construction and confusion continues. Michigan was half-dominant and half-dormant Saturday, and held on to beat a tough Iowa team 10-3 to stay afloat in the Big Ten race. You put it all together and the Wolverines (4-1) are halfway decent about halfway through the season.

It was good enough on this day, and it shouldn’t be downplayed anytime you outlast Iowa.
