Hole also examines the long-term outlook with incoming talent like Savion t, explaining how this year's growing pains could set up a dominant 2025 season where the offense finally carries the defense.Discover why Michigan's youth movement and incremental improvement matter more than dominant performances right now.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!PelotonLet yourself run, lift, flex, and push forward.
