Okay, I can see the argument that Michigan beat a crippled program this year. Some validity to it.
But by the same token, 3 of the 7 wins Ohio had during its streak of "dominance" came against a Michigan team with a new coach whose only success came in the Big East, using players that did not fit (physically/mentally) his systems, were ravaged by attrition, played tons of freshmen, also faced NCAA scrutiny, etc.
So if you want to put an asterisk by this win, you'd have to put one by those three wins in your column.
If we can be as good on offense, a little better on defense, but much better on turnover margin, that could be enough to stay at 7 wins and be more competitive in the losses. I don't expect the defense to generate a whole lot more, but if we just hang on to the ball, it could be a huge difference.

Take your medicine. Try again next year.
Classy, mature kid. And always great to see him running around with that giant grin on his face. He just loves playing.
