Michigan's Offense Struggles After Illinois Defeat

The Michigan Wolverines are facing significant challenges this season under first-year head coach Sherrone Moore, following a 21-7 defeat to Illinois, marking their worst offensive showing in a decade. The team has struggled with turnovers, ranking 117th nationally, and has used three different quarterbacks, with Jack Tuttle starting against Illinois and suffering from poor protection and errant throws. Michigan's offense ranks low in total offense, passing, and scoring, making it one of the worst in the nation. Despite the loss, Moore remains non-committal about who will start at quarterback for the upcoming game against Michigan State, highlighting continued uncertainty in the team’s leadership. The Wolverines' season, marked by a loss of consistency and offensive production, puts them at risk of missing a bowl game, a stark contrast to their national championship win last year.
