5 things we learned from demoralizing Michigan football loss to Texas

The offensive line isn't meeting the standard

One of the reasons I was confident in Michigan football this season was the offensive line. I believed that there was enough talent there and that Sherrone Moore was a good enough coach to keep that group playing at a high level.

Grant Newsome is now coaching the offensive line though and through two games, the results haven't been great. Michigan struggled to run the ball against Fresno State and couldn't run the ball against Texas.

It was foolish to expect five new starters to maintain the high standard of the past three seasons, but there are highly-touted prospects on the line. Giovanni El-Hadi was a top-100 dude. So was Myles Hinton and Josh Priebe was All-Big Ten honorable mention last season.

The talent is there. But the production isn't. Surely, the offensive line will get better as the season goes along but it's one of the biggest disappointments through two games.

The Wolverines are averaging just 114 yards per game and four yards per rushing attempt. That's not nearly good enough to carry an offense without a dynamic passing attack.
