Michigan Football: 3 Takeaways from win over Middle Tennessee State

Far From A Finished Product

Social media happened to be buzzing all night. From start to finish, opinions were flying around like birds in the air. Some were displeased with the performance, while others were happy with the outcome. Fans everywhere were united for the cause to see the product to improve, just not as rapidly as a handful would have hoped.

The offense appeared to be clearly shaky every now and then. The passing offense dropped off when Patterson went out, while the running part didn’t feel particularly explosive all night. It felt like the air got sucked out of the entire offense for several minutes and slowly took over towards the end of the contest.’

On defense, the Wolverines flew to the ball as much as possible. They made a minuscule amount of mistakes mainly because of the situations they ended up in. The pass rush will square off with much more stern tests during the road ahead, but the secondary won’t duel with a gun-slinging arsenal like that for what seems to be weeks.

Even the special teams still have question marks too. Ronnie Bell filled in admirably for a much too valuable LaVert Hill as the punt returner. Giles Jackson showed off well and is maybe the speediest player on the whole team. Quinn Nordin and Jake Moody split kicks, meaning the coaches have faith in both to do different things.

All in all, winning will cure-all ailments no matter how perfect or abysmal team 140 performs. In the meantime, the Wolverines will work tirelessly to keep fighting for the goals they set out for since day one.
