Michigan Football Rewind: The Offense Continues its Struggles Against Michigan State

Throughout the season so far, the purpose of this weekly column has been to pick one element of the previous Michigan football game, evaluate it closely, then discuss why it was successful or how it can be improved upon. But, after the disappointing loss on Saturday against Michigan State, there is too long of a list of serious issues worth discussing to choose one single topic. The game was a disastrous combination of poor performances, seriously questionable play calling, and terrible mistakes at the worst moments. And sadly, the need to critique these areas to better understand Michigan’s situation on offense completely takes away opportunities to evaluate the terrific game played by the defense.
