Gameday Calls: Five bold predictions for Michigan vs Rutgers
Michigan has spent most of this season asking its defense to survive while the offense searches for answers. Rutgers is the matchup where that script should finally flip.
Michigan has spent most of this season asking its defense to survive while the offense searches for answers. Rutgers is the matchup where that script should finally flip.
This is not a matchup where Michigan should have to choose between getting the run game going and letting Tommy Carr throw it. It should do both.
Michigan changed quarterbacks. It did not change the results of an offense that keeps putting itself behind schedule.
Justin Roh and Joel Honigford of Blue By Ninety discuss the persistent offensive struggles hindering Michigan’s performance.
Indiana did not prove Carr cannot be the answer. It did prove, as expected, that changing the quarterback was never going to magically solve everything wrong with this offense.
Michigan fell to Indiana 13-6 in overtime Saturday, failing to score a touchdown despite holding the Hoosiers to 187 yards and six points through regulation.
Michigan found a way to beat Penn State after Tommy Carr changed the second half. Indiana is a much tougher test of whether that offensive spark can become a real identity.
Michigan finally found some offensive life against Penn State. It also found it in a way that will be much harder to duplicate Saturday.
Penn State turned Michigan's two first-half turnovers into zero points. It rushed for 65 yards all afternoon. And when Michigan finally needed something more than another stop, the defense started handing the offense the football.
Joel Honigford and Justin Roh react to Michigan beating Penn St with Tommy Carr at QB, what it means for the rest of the season, and Bryce’s future.
