Even with a nearly non-existent passing attack, Michigan is 12th in EPA per rush on offense. With Alex Orji at QB, it’s only opened up the ground game, as the dual-threat quarterback was key to the Wolverines rushing for 290 yards in their 27-24 win over USC. Meanwhile, the Wolverines’ fifth-ranked defense is loaded with NFL talent, particularly on its defensive line. Josiah Stewart, Mason Graham, Kenneth Grant, and Derrick Moore have already combined for 40 pressures this season, while top draft prospect Will Johnson remains a lockdown corner.It certainly helps that Michigan’s offense is built to run the clock, and frankly, it can barely throw the ball.
