Michigan Football: Heart not enough against Penn State

  • October 21, 2019March 21, 2020
  • by Jon Hamilton

The heat of the spotlight could have burned a hole through Jim Harbaugh’s khakis on Saturday. The Michigan football program squared off against undefeated #7 Penn State as a heavy underdog (+7.5), under the lights in a nationally hyped game. In a hostile “white-out” environment, the weight of season expectations (and Harbaugh’s personal big game struggles) added even more pressure to a game that had huge implications. Michigan responded with perhaps their best performance of the year, but it still wasn’t enough to capture an elusive top ten win. Read more “Michigan Football: Heart not enough against Penn State” →

Michigan football in 2019 has been a season defined by talk rather than action. You don’t have to twist the arms of Jim Harbaugh or the rest of his coaching staff to get meaty content to dissect. Here is a quick “year in review” to understand how we got to this point… Read more “Michigan Football: Time for Talk is Over” →

It was a tale of two teams on Saturday. No, I’m not referring to Michigan and Iowa, but rather Michigan’s offense and defense. One side looked championship-caliber, while the other looked constipated. Let’s dive into some takeaways. Read more “Michigan defense flies solo against Iowa” →

Did Destroying Rutgers prepare Michigan for Iowa?

  • October 4, 2019March 27, 2020
  • by Jon Hamilton

Jim Harbaugh’s 41-15 record as Michigan’s head coach is littered with performances like Saturday’s 52-0 beatdown of Rutgers. But is Michigan any more prepared for Iowa now than they were a week ago?

The Michigan Football Identity Crisis

  • September 26, 2019March 28, 2020
  • by Jon Hamilton

The Michigan football program is searching for an identity. Players, coaches, and fans alike are all trying to pin down who or what is to blame after being undressed by Wisconsin 35-14. You will always get plenty of cliches and coachspeak after a bad loss, and there was no shortage here. However, there have been some interesting quotes that allow us to do a deep dive into just how much trouble this program is in. Read more “The Michigan Football Identity Crisis” →

To kick off the Michigan Football Archives at The Warm Take, I will discuss why my beloved alma mater is consistently over-rated. Merely two games into the 2019 college football season, the University of Michigan looks poised to over-promise and under-deliver yet again. Despite a 2-0 start, the Wolverines have already slid three spots in the AP poll since opening the year inside the top ten once again. Michigan opened the year at No. 7, their third appearance in the preseason top-8 since 2012. The last time Michigan finished the season in the top 8: 2006.
