In a poor performance from the Beavers, there were lessons to glean though they were not the most enjoyable.
1).The Beavers defensive and offensive lines still need to get stronger. Both lines were getting pushed around against the old men of Michigan. Even when the game was close the Beavs were losing at the point of attack and were living on hustle. There are some physical teams in the Pac-12 where this level of performance will not be acceptable. This is especially critical on offense where the offense is looking to focus on the run with a young qb.
