It’s great to score points, it’s great to score points in the red-zone — but it’s always best to score touchdowns.
Converting field goals is a great luxury, but touchdowns are better.
This is where Michigan Football’s offense finds itself nine games into its 2021 campaign.
Michigan has been able to get into the red area aplenty, ranking 7th in red-zone offense. However, as good as that statistic sounds there’s another that goes directly in the other direction — Michigan ranks 88th in red-zone touchdown percentage. Michigan has been in the red-zone 45 times this season, and they’ve netted points 42 of those 45 times (25 touchdowns, 17 field goals).
