No. 17 Michigan’s offense has been one of the least productive in the nation this season. The 1-1 Wolverines rank No. 120 in total offense and sizable improvements are necessary at every level.

  • Passing Offense: No. 113
  • Rushing Offense: No. 101
  • Third Down Conversion Rate: No. 109
  • Turnover Margin: No. 105

If these rankings remain unchanged it will be a long season for Michigan. However, it’s not uncommon for teams to get substantially better as the season progresses. Despite losing 31-12 to No. 2 Texas last Saturday, Michigan head coach Sherrone Moore said the team’s “not far off” from competing against the Longhorns or any other top program.
