As the Michigan Wolverines battle for a slot in the Big Ten championship game, freshmen and sophomores will be counted on more heavily. What's impressive about this particular group of youngsters is that they come equipped with plenty of game. 

Even more intriguing is that the coaching staff is assembling the nucleus of what might be some darn good football teams in the near future.

Add what might be the nation's top recruiting class in 2013, and the Wolverines will be among the nation's elite very, very soon.

Better yet, the superior depth which is being created should help Michigan (4-2, 2-0) in its quest for the Legends Division title.
