How the Michigan Wolverines learned to stop worrying and love the red zone

Remember when the Michigan Wolverines had issues scoring touchdowns in the red zone? (cue the member berries.) While Lou Groza Award finalist and Michigan kicker Jake Moody is a valuable weapon to the team, capping off drives with touchdowns instead of field goals became imperative to success over the final four games.

After the Michigan State game which saw Moody kick four field goals in a four-point defeat, and the Indiana game which saw him kick three in a less than inspired offensive performance, something had to change.

Over the final four games, Michigan scored touchdowns on 17-of-19 possessions inside the red zone.
