Mailbag Question:


Hey,

Has our defense really played that bad or are we counting on them way to much with this offense? It seems to me that the defense really hasn't played that bad, but the offense sure hasn't helped them out by all the turnovers and also how long the defense has been on the field

Thanks for your guys in-put....

Thanks for the question.

Football is a team game. All phases rely on and are dependent on the others.

Defense in our opinion has been OK. it has not been as good as we think it should be, or needs to play. The shoddy tackling, penalties, and giving up big plays have nothing to do with what the offense and special teams have done.

If Michigan defense is going to play up to its potential, the basic fundamentals have to improve. And defense needs to start playing physical hardhitting football and start to create some turnovers.
