Michigan Daily: Article by Ian Robinson

Offense's problems remain the same for Michigan football

Entering Saturday, the Toledo football team had allowed more than 30 points in four of its five games. In the other, the Rockets allowed 17 points to Eastern Michigan.

Michigan couldn’t even match that.

They haven't put together a complete offensive game all season.

“It’s surprising every week,” offensive coordinator Calvin Magee said. “You expect to work on it, and you expect to get better, and you expect the guys to execute, and they didn’t do it.”

That has been Michigan’s explanation after every game this season. But they appear to be regressing.

At the beginning of the season, players talked about how they were just a couple of inches away on every play from breaking a long run. But that hasn’t been mentioned in the last few games. Now, the common explanation is players not being on the same page.

The Wolverines didn’t have a drive longer than three first downs against Toledo.
