When people think of Michigan’s football team and their strengths this season, they generally refer to the offense.
Michigan will be bringing back Cade McNamara (who is definitely more than serviceable), some talented running backs (Haskins, Corum, Edwards, Dunlap), and experienced wide receivers (Bell, Johnson, Sainristil, Wilson, Henning).
What people really don’t pay attention to is the defense that much. For all the faults of the offense being unable to move the ball last year, the defense didn’t do them any favors in giving up a ton of yardage.
I’m not saying that Joe Milton was a generational talent last year.
