The defensive line

Michigan's front four didn't play well against Texas. The Wolverines were on the field for a lot of plays, but it was a disappointing effort.

Mason Graham needs to have a bigger impact, so do Kenneth Grant, Rayshaun Benny, Derrick Moore and Josaiah Stewart. Those guys need to be active on Saturday and frankly, they need to dominate.

Miller Moss has some talented pass-catchers to work with. But, he's only making his fourth career start and it feels like the Wolverines could fluster him if they can stop the run and put the game on his shoulders.

Wink Martindale will need to redeem himself, but Miller isn't Quinn Ewers and USC isn't Texas. The U-M defensive line should be able to win this matchup and it will be a lost cause if they don't.
