Michigan's offense is so bad it's hard to fathom Jason Beck still being employed

Saturday's 13-6 overtime loss to Indiana was one of the most frustrating Michigan football fans have probably ever had to experience.

The Wolverines had four drives that started inside the 12-yard line of Indiana. Those four drives netted Michigan football three points and one yard.

It's baffling that any team could be that bad. After the Minnesota game, the pressure was on Bryce Underwood. Two first-half interceptions led to a benching, although the 36 rushing yards were just as bad.

Michigan ran for 175 yards in the second half against Penn State. You wondered if that was fool's good or if Jason Beck finally figured out some running calls that worked for an offense that averaged 210 rushing yards per game in 2025, with most of those players back.

The answer was no. Beck stuck with the Rhino and went back to the things that didn't work for five games.

The results were a disaster: 41 rushing attempts for 57 yards.

Indiana has a good defense, but it's not that good. That's atrocious. It's horrendous. It's indefensible.

The futility is hard to put into context. Over Michigan's last 27 drives that didn't start after a takeaway by the defense, the Wolverines have scored just 3 points with 17 punts, five interceptions, and a fumble. That's twice as many turnovers as total points.

Offensive ineptitude reaches new heights for Michigan football

That's shockingly bad. If that doesn't get you fired as a college football offensive coordinator, I don't know what does. Kyle Whittingham acknowledged, once again that the offense needs to be better, without any sort of plan for improving it.

When asked about Jason Beck, Whittingham just keeps saying that he has had successful offenses in the past.

Seven games into the 2026 Michigan football season, this is one of the worst offenses the Wolverines have ever had. It's frustrating because the defense is off the charts. Indiana didn't score once on a drive that began in its own territory.

It's not about the quarterbacks, the runnng backs, the receivers or the offensive line. It's about Jason Beck. Anyone who can't see that is blind.

Unfortunately, that contingent seems to include Kyle Whittingham. That might be the biggest problem of them all.
