Michigan passing offense vs. Utah passing defense

Whether redshirt sophomore Nick Sheridan or redshirt freshman Steven Threet starts, the Wolverines’ passing game will likely struggle Saturday. Both quarterbacks have limitations — Sheridan may have trouble seeing over the line and doesn’t have a lot of arm strength; Threet struggles throwing on the run. And Michigan’s offensive line, replacing four starters, is likely to struggle.

The Utes have two All-Mountain West Preseason Team defensive backs in cornerback Brice McCain and free safety Robert Johnson. Utah’s coverage should be good, and that will be more than enough against a quarterback who has never thrown a college pass, is learning a new system and is being protected by a subpar offensive line.
