Usually, when one team has twice as many yards as another, that team wins going away. That's what Michigan football should have done on Saturday.

Instead, the Wolverines turned the ball over five times, struggled in the red zone, and turned 496 yards of total offense, including more than 300 from Bryce Underwood, into 24 points.
