Michigan has turned things around drastically over the past two years. Jim Harbaugh took that “hot seat” talk to heart after the 2020 season and really got back to the basics of what made him such a great coach coming in all the way back in 2015.

The Wolverines have looked like the tougher team against Ohio State over the past two seasons and that’s led to two straight double-digit wins.

Saturday’s win at Ohio State was Harbaugh’s first as a head coach in Columbus as Michigan’s head coach and the Wolverines now sit at 12-0 to end the regular season and barring a meltdown, they’re basically locked into the playoff.

Blake Corum tried to give it a go, but he just couldn’t and finished the game with two carries, but that’s OK because JJ McCarthy and Donovan Edwards had All-Big Ten caliber games. Michigan will be sitting at No. 2 this week.
