When Michigan brought in Pep Hamilton from the Cleveland Browns, Michigan fans were mostly optimistic that he would add a discerning eye and some better execution to an offense that had dipped in 2016.
Instead, Michigan’s Offensive S&P+ continued to slide under Pep’s watch, as a carousel at quarterback and youth all over the offense proved enough to sink the Wolverines in 2017. Michigan’s three starting quarterbacks combined for 2,226 yards, a 53.5% completion rate and 9 touchdown passes against 10 interceptions. Michigan’s passing offense as a whole had only 33 pass plays of 20 yards or more, less than half of which (15) came from the wide receivers.
