ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Since Michigan lost its second consecutive blowout at the hands of archrival Ohio State, there’s been a lot of question about how far apart the two programs are as of current.

It’s difficult to precisely note just where the gap exists, if not everywhere, and that conversation has gathered more steam this past week, with former Michigan videographer Ty Rogers noting on Twitter that seemingly facilities-wise, the Buckeyes seem far ahead as he visited the Woody Hayes Athletic Center.

But Wolverines VIPER and team captain Khaleke Hudson disagrees with the notion that the two programs are far apart in that area.

“I’m not sure what they got at their facility, but I know we got one of the best facilities in the world,” Hudson said. “And we’ve got one of the best coaches in the world. We got the best teammates in the world.

“I don’t know where they’re at, but I know we’re higher up.”

But what about talent? OSU boasts a lot of big-time playmakers and perennially has several high-round NFL Draft picks.

But Hudson not only feels like there’s no disparity, but that Michigan, as the cliche goes, has it better.

“I feel like our talent is better,” he said.

While the scores the past two years prove otherwise at the moment, the Wolverines will have a chance to make a statement, as they take on the formidable Alabama Crimson Tide at the VRBO Citrus Bowl on Jan. 1 in Orlando. Kickoff is slated for 1PM at Camping World Stadium.
