Wilton Speight threw his arms up in the air out in front of his face as another scoring opportunity crumbled at his feet. The usually unflappable Michigan quarterback looked considerably flapped late in the third quarter while an equally flummoxed home crowd boo’d the Wolverine offense for the second straight week.
No. 7 Michigan escaped a scare from Air Force, 29-13, to stay unbeaten three games into the regular season. The final score belies the fact that the Falcons stayed within striking distance late into the fourth quarter and left the crowd in Ann Arbor with a large serving of concern for an offense that has lacked creativity, explosive plays and the ability to finish drives so far in 2017.
