Ann Arbor — Michigan has stayed with the same starting five on the offensive line since the beginning of the season, and position coach Ed Warinner likes their overall progress.

Developing cohesiveness and consistency are always key for an offensive line, and Warinner pointed to the statistics to illustrate the balance the offense has achieved. Michigan is 4-1, 2-0 Big Ten and faces Maryland on Saturday.

“I think three yards difference between our rush yards and our passing yards, so when you look at your start — 1,028 rushing yards, passing yards 1,031 — I would call that balance,” he said Wednesday.
