The Michigan Wolverines have their bye week next up on the program in Week 3 and it could be coming at a much-needed moment. The successes did not arrive easily, Even though the maize and blue have won the first two matches of the season.?? After failing to cover the distribute against Middle Tennessee in Week 32, Michigan survived a overtime win over Army for its second straight ATS reduction. Failing to cover in the first phases of 2019 does not represent anything new –??since quarterback Shea Patterson was under center for the Wolverines, they’re only 6-9 ATS and have not covered because Week 10 of last year against Penn State, a period of six games.?? Below I summarize a few reason the Wolverines could be a bet that is rewarding as we advance through the school football schedule. There have been also high hopes for a new contemporary offense for the Wolverines in 2019 with the hiring of offensive coordinator Josh Gattis. With runs, Michigan’s offense appeared somewhat stale sometimes up the gut This past year, yet Karan Higdon nevertheless had 1,178 rushing yards and 10 touchdowns. Higdon is no more with the group, however, as he is on the practice squad and signed with the Houston Texans. The Wolverines’ game appears to be in fine hands with no Higdon as carries with three peaks up to now and was selected??Big Ten Freshman of the Week in Week 2. This points to the fact that Michigan will still have the ball to run, especially against weaker sides. However,??it is the passing game that’s a concern. Michigan averaged only 215.7 passing yards per game last season to??rate 80th in the country and it seems things haven’t altered in 2019. Throughout the first two games, the Wolverines??have averaged 226 passing yards to rank 72nd. Quarterback Shea Patterson is at his senior season and his??yards per completion??(7.1) and??completion percentage would be the lowest they have been since his freshman season. As Michigan’s three wideouts are four-star five-star and three-star recruits the bad passing isn’t a consequence of lack of ability in the receiver corps, directed by junior standout Donovan Peoples-Jones. There were positives in the plot at times against Middle Tennessee, however against Army, there have been far more runs up the center, which??is to above. Gattis suggested that??was to drain the clock and maintain Army’s offense off the area, but I will believe the change for good??when I view it. If there isn’t a massive offensive shift when the Wolverines??return from their bye week against No. 14 Wisconsin, which??has not surrendered a stage yet this season and will even be coming off a bye week, fans will soon be calling for head coach Jim Harbaugh’s shooting, I am positive. In conjunction with the offense in this season’s early stages, Michigan was shooting itself in the foot. The Wolverines position 111th in the country with 78th and 17 penalties in FBS with 113 penalty lawns. This will account for a few of the questionable play-calling when you are getting pushed back and forth confronting lengthy first-down yardage over and over again. Furthermore, quarterback Shea Patterson is tied for the many fumbles in the country, while Michigan as a team ranks dead last in college football with five lost fumbles already, forcing the defense to be on the field over it ought to be and receiving the crime out of sync. Overall, the Wolverines are heading into conference play, but you’ll find indications of a letdown against an ever-strengthening Big Ten conference. Read more: bdbma.com
