The defense is a problem

Will Rogers is a good quarterback and the Huskies have some weapons, but that team shouldn't have gained 429 yards on Michigan football, especially not 114 on the ground with an offensive line that is basically built on transfers.

Even Will Johnson had a rough night. Zeke Berry and Jyaire Hill were each beaten badly and it's just surprising to see all the missed tackles. One on drive, Michigan allowed back-to-back chunk plays simply by missing tackles they should have made.

It's frustrating but the coaching clearly isn't where it was a year ago. There are just too many mistakes, even from veterans, which makes it even more frustrating. A lot of it could be avoided.
