Michigan Football vs UCF: 5 Takeways From the Wolverines Romp

Michigan football still has a lot of coals in the fire at running back

De’Veon Smith returned to the starting lineup this week for the Michigan offense, but once again he was less than stellar, rushing just 10 times for 38 yards.

Yet, even though Smith failed to impress, nobody else really did either. Chris Evans, the breakout star from the win over Hawaii, had a solid game, but was hemmed in and limited to just 35 yards on nine rushes.

As a team, the Wolverines managed a paltry 119 yards on 41 attempts. Of course, that has to do with both the running backs and the offensive line, which had some struggles against the Knights.

However, the biggest takeaway here, as far as Michigan football is concerned, is that there is none and probably will be no true No. 1 back for this team all season.
