#SportsMonday: As the No. 4 Michigan football team wrapped up a 59-0 victory over lowly UConn Saturday afternoon, everything seemed rather ho-hum. There was no hoopla, no stir in Ann Arbor over the Wolverines’ ranking in the AP Top 25 poll, which slots them behind only Georgia, Alabama and Ohio State — college football’s three goliaths. 

This is the standard now. While Michigan has always been known as a football school, the proclamation feels realistic following last year’s monumental breakthrough. The Wolverines should be this strong, and their passionate fanbase has a blueprint by which they judge success by; everyone knows how it feels and what it looks like. 

Good teams, though, are forged through crucibles of adversity. Sure, the first three games — all cakewalks — played out as they should, as the Wolverines avoided the fate that befell Notre Dame and Texas A&M. But that doesn’t mean that the non-conference slate is a harbinger of what’s to come.

“I feel like we look good, but we haven’t faced adversity,” junior running back Blake Corum said. “I really don’t know how good we’re gonna be. I feel it. I feel like we’re gonna be great. But I can’t tell you.” 

The real challenges — the real season — starts now. A grueling Big Ten schedule beckons, beginning with a clash against an upstart, undefeated Maryland squad on Saturday. It’s not a litmus test, but nonetheless an important barometer.
