Inside the attitude: Mike BarwisBy Ian Robinson

In the excitement following last week’s 27-25 comeback win over Wisconsin, Michigan players were asked about the key to the historic victory.
They could easily have easily pointed to fifth-year senior linebacker John Thompson’s pick-six, redshirt freshman quarterback Steven Threet’s 58-yard run or junior Brandon Graham’s three sacks.
Those plays will live on in Michigan lore, but the Wolverines didn’t see them as the game-deciding moments.
For them, those moments happened months ago. It wasn’t just one, either. Rather, it was a summer’s worth of sprints, lifts, squats, sweat, and blood with Michigan’s new director of strength and conditioning, Mike Barwis.
The workouts put the players into “the best shape of their lives.” They are stronger, quicker and faster than ever.
