Quick reaction: Michigan 52, Minnesota 10

Another week, another set of First World Problems for the two-time reigning Big Ten Champions — and by extension, for me.

Last week, I talked about the difficulty in having enough fodder for critical content in the aftermath of a 38-point road victory in Big Ten play.

One week later, Michigan was back on the road again. Instead of a 38-point road win, though, this time Michigan walked away with a 42-point victory — giving the Wolverines more of the style points they were criticized for not having through the first four weeks of the season.

Don’t worry. I’m sure there will be something else that pundits can pivot to when it comes to not giving Michigan the credit it deserves.

Michigan leaves Minneapolis with more than just a sixth win and some bowl eligibility, though. The Wolverines are also leaving with the Little Brown Jug — one of college football’s most storied trophies, and one that has been in possession of the Wolverines ever since Jim Harbaugh returned to Ann Arbor to lead the program.
