Notes and Thoughts

• Wide receiver has been a disappointment all season, but nothing compared to this game. Only two wide receivers played at least half of the snaps on offense. It’s hard to develop an offense when you don’t have any reliable wideouts.
• Beau Pribula did not appear in this game. I was hoping to see some kind of play package for him in the big game, but it feels like another Tommy Stevens situation.
• My vote for most improved players on the defense would go to Zane Durant and Kevin Winston Jr. They have developed nicely in their first season in a starting role, and they each led the way for their respective positions in snaps against Michigan.
• It was nice to have Chop back. The pass rush was clearly getting to McCarthy, but Michigan was smart enough to adjust away from the pass and wear us down by running it.
