Michigan's D is so good, but it could've been even better. Dang UNLV.

We got a mention from the worldwide leader in sports. I have to say, being a 49ers fan is tough with the clowns they have running the show. You never get rid of a proven winner like Harbaugh. The organization had been garbage for years until he showed up.

When then-18th ranked Michigan skunked then 13th-ranked Northwestern 38-0, it marked the Wolverines' third straight shutout, the first FBS team to pull that off since Kansas State in 1995, and the first Michigan team to do it since 1980 (shoutout to Andy Cannavino and Keith Bostic). Even more impressive is that two of those zeroes came against ranked opponents (BYU and the Wildcats), and UM also scored at least 28 points in each victory. The Wolverines are only the fifth team ever to pull that off and the first since Notre Dame in 1966. All but one of those first four teams went on to win the national championship (c'mon, '56 Georgia Tech, you're killing us). What's more, the streak could be even more ridiculous if not for a fourth-quarter, meant-nothing late TD by UNLV in Week 3. That's the only score allowed since Oregon State's first quarter touchdown way back on Sept. 12. The 38 total points UM has allowed are the fewest through six games by a Michigan team since 1985. The quarterback that year? Jim Harbaugh.

Michigan might win the National Championship the way they're shutting down opponents. They look really good right now. UNLV played them tougher than Oregon State, BYU, Maryland and Northwestern.

Could have had 2 TDs if our receiver didnt drop that end zone pass. Again.
