The Michigan football program has been undergoing a lot of pressure from the media lately. Jim Harbaugh is in the middle of a sign-stealing scandal that places a lot of doubts on the team's College Football Playoff Rankings.

But there is still a lot of optimism for the JJ McCarthy-led squad that has not been there since Bo Schembechler was still running things. It was so infectious that even university President Santa Ono had to unveil how proud he was about the squad in his latest post on X.

“Team 144 are our team. Deep down, your players must know you care about them. This is the most important thing…. They know, in the long run, [that] I’m in their corner.”#GoBlue,” were the words that the Michigan football president Santa Ono wrote down.

Michigan football debuted at No. 3 in this year's College Football Playoff Rankings after they had won over the Michigan State squad. Bo Schembechler would be proud of how this Michigan football team conducted themselves in the victory.

JJ McCarthy had an efficient 21 completions out of 27 passing attempts. The Wolverines got 287 yards out of his performance alone. His four touchdowns were the most impressive part of his game, which notched them an insane-looking 49-0 victory en route to a flawless eight-win record.

There is a lot coming for the Michigan football program before the first week of November hits. Harbaugh has to deal with the ongoing investigation from the NCAA, battle the Purdue Boilermakers, and hope that they increase their national title chances as the season goes by.
