5 Things we learned from Michigan Football’s loss to Michigan State

Drastic changes need to be made

We’ll tackle some of the big picture questions about Harbaugh and Don Brown, but first, who expected the secondary to be this bad?

If you can’t hang with Michigan State’s receivers, how in the world are the Wolverines going to stand any chance against Justin Fields and Ohio State? Unless something changes, dramatically, they don’t and they won’t.

Hell, even Indiana and every other team on the schedule is licking its chops after watching Gemon Green, Vincent Gray and Jalen Perry just get exposed. Gray is just too slow and he needs to take a permanent seat on the bench.

Green has a chance to be decent and has more pass breakups, but again dropped a critical interception, one that would have been easy to corral. It could have changed the game, instead, it was just another missed opportunity.

Daxton Hill is far and away the best man-to-man cover guy on this team and if the Wolverines aren’t going to adjust their scheme, he has to move there full time.

The truth is that Michigan football and position coach Mike Zordich have not done a good job of recruiting top talent at the position and it’s starting to show.

Andre Seldon and Darion Green-Warren, who were each part of the 2020 class, are two of the better signees in recent years and they may need to see the field sooner than later, because the rest of these guys just aren’t cutting it.
