Unbeaten Michigan Wolverines

Although most of the Michigan based sports lost this weekend, including devastating losses to Central Michigan, Michigan State, and the Detroit Tigers, there was one particular team that came away this weekend victorious. The Michigan Wolverines beat No. 8 nationally-ranked Wisconsin 14-7 on Saturday at the "Big House". One of the most anticipated games of the weekend, the Wolverines were able to cause havoc with their top-ranked defense, and provided just enough offense to capture their fifth win of the season. Wisconsin, who routed nationally ranked Michigan State the week prior, were deadlocked with Michigan until about halfway through the fourth quarter. Wilton Speight connected with Amara Darboh on a 46 yard touchdown pass that provided the difference in the game. With the help of three interceptions on defense, including an acrobatic one handed interception by corner back Jourdan Lewis, that made it to number two on Sportscenter's Top 10 plays, sealed the victory. Michigan didn't win pretty, but they made a statement by finally beating a quality team other than the names of Michigan State and Ohio State. Michigan still has those particular opponents ahead of them, but at least finally they have a quality win under their belt. As long as the defense is playing at this level consistently, all Michigan will need to do is run the football and make limited mistakes, and they'll be heading to East Lansing and Columbus with a favoring record. Michigan has yet to travel on the road, and their first test begins this week, when they visit Rutgers. We shall see if this Michigan team can play as well as they do at home, on the road.
