3 reasons to feel good about the Michigan football offense

Michigan football has averaged 35 points or more in each of the past three seasons. But with a new starting quarterback and a total of 10 new starters, that might be a tough standard to meet.

We still don't know who the starting quarterback will be for Michigan football. We might not know until the first game against Fresno State.

Jim Harbaugh once waited until the first series of the season to announce his starting quarterback and Sherrone Moore could use a similar tactic.

I still Alex Orji is the best option. He has the most upside and I think he fits well with what Michigan football needs right now.

Beyond the quarterback position though, there are reasons to be confident in this offense in 2024, and here are three reasons Michigan football fans should feel good about that side of the ball.

The offensive line

Michigan football has to replace five players on the offensive line who were starting caliber last season. Myles Hinton is back on the left side and the other four should be just fine.

Josh Priebe and Giovanni El-Hadi will be among the best guard tandems in all of college football. Greg Crippen is also poised to take over at center if he can beat out Raheem Anderson.

Evan Link has added his name to the offensive tackle competition but it feels like Andrew Gentry will start at right tackle. That gives Michigan a ton of depth and talent up front.

The Wolverines have controlled the line of scrimmage the past three years and that shouldn't change in 2024 for the Michigan football offense.
