It seems like we have been being told that Michigan has a legitimately dominant defense for a decade now, but it has been over 10 years since TTUN has beaten the Ohio State Buckeyes, so how good could their defenses actually be? Even though we are now past having to hear about Don Brown’s “vaunted” man-defense and folks are now pumping up former Doobie Brothers lead singer new defensive coordinator Mike Macdonald’s unit, I’ve learned my lesson.
I’ve been burnt far too many times to just blindly trust the college football intelligencia when it comes to the Mitten Man defense, because annually it seems like half of the CFB press is trying to pump up their stock enough to get it to ridiculous GameStop levels.
