The offensive line is still a concern

As great as it was to see Underwood do this thing on Saturday, the offensive line is still a concern. Michigan football rushed for over 300 yards. Underwood was the leading rusher but Justice Haynes also went over 100 yards for the third straight game.

The Wolverines had a tough time just running the ball early in the game. Underwood, using his arm and his legs, helped set it up.

You'd like to see the offensive line moving more guys off the ball against Central Michigan. Nebraska's defensive line isn't elite. All three starting running backs they have faced have averaged more than five yards per rushing attempt.

It would help if Giovanni El-Hadi and Brady Norton returned to the lineup, but the offensive line is still a concern, despite Michigan totaling over 600 yards of offense.

Underwood's movement skills helped, though. And activating him as part of the running game will at least do the offensive line the favor of giving them one less defender to block.
