Limit TCU’s running back Kendre MIller

TCU doesn’t just pass the ball and that’s it though. They also have a capable running back in Kendre Miller, who has rushed for over 1,340 yards on the season (albeit, on Big-12 defenses).

TCU’s running back is good enough to where Michigan will need to respect him and stop the run first. That needs to happen first, and it’s good that Michigan has Mazi Smith in the middle to anchor the defense.

I don’t know or think TCU has really seen a defensive line as big and as athletic as Michigan’s all year long.

It’s possible that that offensive line gets manhandled and pushed around all game.

So, for Michigan, stop the run first, and then they can turn their full attention to stopping the pass, a la OSU.
