We had heard rumblings in the offseason that the Michigan offense would attempt to be more balanced in 2023 after relying heavily on the run over the last two seasons. While the passing attack hadn’t previously been bad, there was still another level it could reach in order to make Michigan’s offense one of the nation’s elite.
On Saturday, we saw that vision come to fruition in a way, as it was the passing attack that propelled Michigan to a 30-3 victory over East Carolina in Ann Arbor. This ability to be flexible was indeed necessary, as the Pirates seemed to be selling out to stop the run
“ECU did a phenomenal job stopping the run - that was their gameplan and they did a pretty good job,” said senior running back Blake Corum.
