Can Michigan's offense produce on the road?

The Wolverines have three road games left and if they are going to keep their playoff hopes alive long enough to play Ohio State, they will need to score more points on the road.

To be fair, the road games against USC, Oklahoma, and Nebraska haven't been easy. Yet the Wolverines are scoring just over 18 points per game. Twice, they were limited to 13 points, although they did score 30 in Lincoln in Underwood's first Big Ten road game.

The environment shouldn't bother Bryce. Michigan will have a first-time starter at left tackle, but this team should be more seasoned on the road. It will need to be, because another 13-point effort won't cut it.

Against an inferior team, Michigan can't afford another slow start.
