Get Donovan Edwards involved in the passing game

This isn't a key for this game specifically, but Edwards is one of the best pass catchers on the team and the coaching staff has to get him involved. It just has to.

This week would be a great week to start. At the very least, start splitting Edwards out wide. We have seen him beat teams deep on that go route. It's not an easy throw but it would at least give defenses something to think about.

Colston Loveland is the only other player in the passing game that defenses have to worry about. That's a lot of pressure on him and Davis Warren, especially when Michigan was leaving Loveland in to block.

Weird things were happening. It's also weird that Edwards has been so under-utilized as a receiver. However, with few options left, I'm hoping that Michigan football will finally make one of its best weapons in the passing game, Donovan Edwards, part of the passing attack.

I'm certain Davis Warren will thank them. Probably the running game too.

Yet, if Michigan comes out and does the same things it did the past two weeks, as in no adjustments on offense or defense, my panic level will rise and the Wolverines could be in for a fight.
