Michigan’s defense had an efficient and admirable showing against East Carolina. The final score was 30-3 Michigan, the defense gave up just 235 total yards, and East Carolina’s three points came in the final seconds of the game.
While the Wolverines are happy with how the game turned out, there are other things they want to improve upon in the weeks to come. One of those facets is the pass rush. Michigan didn’t tally a sack in the season opener.
East Carolina opted to throw the ball quickly, which led to no sacks for Michigan, but it also came at a cost — their passing game was inaccurate and ineffective.
