Michigan Football: 3 ways to make the offense more dangerous this season
By Nick Popio
2. Flex out Donovan Edwards to receiver more often
We have seen this before and it payed immediate dividends for the offense. Edwards burst onto the scene as a freshman with a productive receiving performance at Maryland. He's considered by some to be the best wideout on the team already. This would open up ways to get Jordan Marshall and other backs on the field.
Marshall is gaining rave reviews in camp as expected. Kalel Mullings would get a bigger workload and this would also pave the way for Cole Cabana, Ben Hall and those who haven't had the oppurtunity to run wild. It could keep the rushers fresh and defenses would have to plan for multiple backs and styles.
This could also open things up for Tyler Morris, Semaj Morgan, Fredrick Moore, and the rest of the receiving core. It's not the focal point of the offense, but Edwards gives the quarterback another threat that defenses must take seriously. Pair Edwards with Colston Loveland and Marshall in the backfield and suddenly the Michigan football offense is a nightmare to defend.
