Michigan football is in a good place right now. Great new staff. The culture is finally back. JJ will be a star. Future looks bright.
This MSU game stings especially hard because it was winnable. The team rose to occasion, but let it slip away. Because of mistakes, because Kenneth Walker is awesome (and MSU is a good, well coached team) and because it hasn’t developed a killer instinct. Not because they were exposed or were unprepared or unmotivated.
So now we see if they can get over it, clean up the mistakes and show a killer instinct against Indiana then come back stronger at Penn State. If so, we have to appreciate the progress in a transition year before JJ is ready to be the man and Michigan (hopefully) takes the next step.
