Michigan Wolverines running back Blake Corum warms up before action against the Purdue Boilermakers at Michigan Stadium, Saturday, Nov. 4, 2023. /

A lot of people were wondering if Michigan would come out firing after the tumultuous past couple of weeks it had with Connor Stalions and the sign-stealing scandal, and the Wolverines did just that.

Michigan was up 17-0 in the blink of an eye as the Spoilermakers didn’t quite live up to that nickname. They’ve been known to pull off massive upsets over the years, but they stood no chance against an angry Michigan team on Saturday evening.

Although Michigan carried just a 20-6 lead into the halftime locker room, the Wolverines came out and just took care of business in the second half.

Clearly the sign-stealing distraction isn’t hurting Michigan on the field — yet. I see the Wolverines staying at No. 3. Fans are hoping that Jim Harbaugh avoids suspension this season because, man, would that ever derail a special season.
