Once the hype cleared and dust settled on Michigan football's 2015 season-opening loss to Utah, it was clear a handful of adjustments must be made.
Under first-year coach Jim Harbaugh, the Wolverines will battle through a trial-and-error period while adapting new offensive and defensive schemes, and those growing pains were clearly evident during the Utes' 24-17 win.
Most importantly, Michigan needs to address what is supposed to become the offense's bread and butter: the running game.
Perfection isn't expected in the first game of the season, but win or lose, it provides a starting point for the weaknesses that must be corrected.
