Defense wins championships. Michigan’s stout defense was a big part of their championship run last season. Over the past couple of seasons, the Wolverines have consistently had a top-10 defense, culminating last year with a defense that didn’t allow more than 24 points a game and a best in FBS stop rate of 87.4%. While these are impressive numbers, the 2024 Michigan defense looks way more “human” than past years, and there are a myriad of ways in which the Hoosiers can beat them.
