The offensive line is a work in progress
The most disappointing thing on Saturday was the play of the offensive line. Andrew Sprague is a redshirt freshman, and he looked like it on Saturday.
Michigan's gap-blocking run game really had a tough time getting off the ground. Sprague was beaten numerous times on runs and pass plays. He wasn't alone, though.
Wisconsin does have a good defensive line. Let's give the Badgers some credit. There's a reason they only allowed 50 yards rushing per game. Michigan football still rushed for 175. That's not nothing.
But the pass protection was a problem, too. Bryce Underwood handled it well, yet he was under fire all day. It was better in the second half. Michigan also did a better job of getting the ball to its playmakers.
The offensive line was missing Giovanni El-Hadi, so there is room for improvement, but that front five needs to improve if Michigan football is going to make the College Football Playoff.
