It’s no secret that Michigan football’s offense lacked an explosive element at times last season. Off the top of my head, I’m thinking about games against Iowa, Indiana, Wisconsin, even Ohio State.
There isn’t anything inherently wrong with not being explosive. If you can get 4-5 yards per carry out of your running backs, and if you have a defense that can put the clamps on opponents, then the need for explosive plays is dramatically downplayed. On the other hand, Michigan’s offense definitely could have used an explosive element in 2016.
Even though it was mostly efficient, there was moments, as well as whole games, where the Wolverines needed an explosive play like J.
