For Michigan, the defense has been as good as it's ever been under John Beilein.
The offense, meanwhile, is lagging off the usual pace.
The Wolverines (19-7, 8-5 Big Ten) enter Sunday's game at Wisconsin (11-15, 4-9) hoping to fix some of the nagging issues that have plagued them in recent games.
Michigan survived another sloppy day last weekend in an overtime home win over Minnesota. Then, at Northwestern on Tuesday, the Wolverines finally burned themselves in a nine-point loss to a Wildcat squad whose RPI currently sits at No.
