Fox Sports' Joel Klatt calls Michigan Wolverines football the 'biggest threat' to Big Ten favorite Ohio State Buckeyes, Oregon Ducks
As the 2024 college football season approaches and throughout most of the offseason, Ohio State and Oregon have been the perceived favorites to win the Big Ten Conference this fall.
"I do believe there's something of a consensus that Ohio State and Oregon are at the top, and that Michigan — because of everything they lost — is going to have to be something of an underdog this year. I think that that's fair, it's a fair sentiment. And yet, if you're a Michigan fan, or somebody inside of that building, you're sitting there thinking to yourself, 'What is this guy talking about? We just went 15-0. We did not change our culture.
Klatt said there's more to the Wolverines than just what the team believes about itself. Michigan's throwback, hard-nosed style of play is difficult to matchup against. "I understand that Ohio State has a great secondary. I understand that Ohio State has great edge rushers. But, does that matter if Michigan can run it 55 times? Maybe not! See, for the last three years they've said, 'Great, good for you. Look at all that skill on the outside, offensively and even defensively.' And then they said, 'Come on in here into a phone booth and see if you can win a fist fight.' And they've won the fist fight.
