5 questions for Michigan Football in Week 4 vs Maryland

How will the secondary look against Maryland’s passing attack?

Although Michigan’s defensive line will be important to stopping the run, getting pressure and sacks, and preventing scramble yards from Taulia, Michigan’s secondary has the taller task.

So far this season, Michigan’s secondary has only given up one touchdown through the air (34-yard touchdown against Will Johnson Week 1 by CSU) and a 44% completion percentage through three games (34/77).

All of that will be tested though by a Maryland offense that has a quartet of wide receivers that could cause a few issues with Michigan’s secondary in Dontay Demus Jr., Jeshaun Jones, Rakeem Jarrett, and Jacob Copeland.

As I mentioned earlier, Maryland loves to spread the ball around to its receivers, so there will be a lot of opportunities for Michigan’s secondary to generate turnovers.

I always say Maryland’s offense is a baby Ohio State when firing on all cylinders. The way they play offense puts stress on the secondary with their aggressive, attacking style of offense, just like Ohio State, so we’ll see how Michigan’s corners hold up. It should make for some fun matchups.
