Michigan is off to a good start vs. Wisconsin.

The Wolverines took an early 7-0 lead over the Badgers thanks to a beautiful flea flicker touchdown pass from Cade McNamara to Cornelius Johnson.

Here’s the play:

This is Johnson’s second touchdown catch of the season. He’s developing into a reliable deep threat for the Wolverines.

Michigan was an underdog coming into this game despite having an undefeated record.

The Badgers’ defense has been stellar this season, but they’ve struggled to move the ball offensively. Still, their defensive front is likely the best Michigan has seen all season.

The Wolverines have done a good job of rebounding off a nightmare season a year ago. Last season, Michigan went just 2-4 in what was the worst year to date of the Jim Harbaugh era.

But if Michigan can finish off the Badgers on Saturday, it will be 5-0 and be firmly in the College Football Playoff conversation.

Michigan is 51-17-1 all-time against Wisconsin.
