After a 2017 season where fans saw three different quarterbacks behind center, Shea Patterson came in and was supposed to be the savior of the offense and the start of a new era under Jim Harbaugh. Yet, the Wolverines’ offense was still stagnant at times and played mostly conservative in all their games. Players and coaches alike said the playbook was huge and we hadn’t seen the full force of this offense yet, but we never saw Patterson and the multitude of weapons on offense get completely unleashed.
Michigan ranked 106th in pass attempts per game, averaging just 26 a contest.
