Joel Klatt explains why he believes in Michigan this season
Could this finally be the year that Michigan finally breaks through in the Big Ten?
So far, the Wolverines have gotten off to a 5-0 start and look to go 6-0 if they can take down the Nebraska Cornhuskers next Saturday, which may not be an easy task.
One person who thinks this could be the Wolverines year is Fox college football analyst Joel Klatt. He thinks this is could be their breakthrough year:

“This version of Michigan I think is more suited to make a run into the back end of the season than they have been suited in the past,” he said.
Klatt says the changes on offense such as running the football more especially in this game, has really helped this team open up the passing game.
Klatt also said that Michigan has played “clean football” this year and hasn’t turned the football over much as in years past but the biggest difference may be on defense, which is much improved.
Although Klatt says the Wolverines are improved, he is not ready to say they can beat a team like Ohio State.
