Michigan football: 5 reasons Wolverines finally beat Ohio State and win the Big Ten

Michigan football opens the season Saturday and here are five reasons why the Wolverines will beat Buckeyes for the Big Ten East title.

After getting a slight introduction to the college football season this past weekend, game week comes for real now and Michigan football fans, along with everyone else can’t wait.

For hardcore college football fans, this is the week we have all been waiting for. At least since January when the bowl season and the College Football Playoff came to a close.

For Michigan football, a lot has happened since the loss to Florida in the Peach Bowl. The Wolverines have revamped their offense, hired a new offensive coordinator and watched the head coach of their arch-rival retire.

There is no question that without Urban Meyer, Ohio State is going to be different. It’s possible that Ryan Day keeps the train rolling and for the most part, I think he will, but will he continue the dominance against Michigan?

That’s another story.

For a lot of reasons, it made sense for Meyer to quit when he did. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to know that 2019 was going to the biggest challenge yet for him and the Buckeyes when it comes to beating Michigan football again.

After a close win at the Big House two years ago, against John O’Korn, you get the feeling Urban sensed the end of his program’s dominance was near. So he stepped aside. Now, it’s time for Jim Harbaugh to assume his role as the top head coach in the conference.

And if all goes to plan, it will finally be Michigan, not Ohio State, that’s headed to Indy. Here are the five reasons why it will finally happen.
