Why Enow Etta believes Michigan can shock the world
Defensive tackle Enow Etta says the 2024 bowl win over Alabama was the moment he truly believed in his team.
Michigan football has long been underestimated. Before many players arrived, few believed in the Wolverines' potential. In 2021, 247Sports even labeled them as dark-horse candidates for the College Football Playoff. Despite just one loss before facing Ohio State, the team was seen as underdogs, and then they triumphed 42-27 at home.
The following year, Ohio State's conference dominance was expected, and Michigan went undefeated. However, some analysts still predicted an upset in the Big Ten championship game. Yet, Michigan emerged as the national champions. In 2024, the team faced skepticism after losing to Ohio State and later to Alabama. But the upset against Alabama changed defensive tackle Enow Etta's perspective.
After that Bama game, Etta realized that the team could achieve anything, even if no one expected it. This moment of belief in the team and themselves marked the start of a new era for Michigan football.
