Michigan vs. Iowa quarterly observations: First quarter

Michigan football took on Iowa in its homecoming game on Saturday. Here are our observations throughout the contest.

  • We saw a new wrinkle out of the offense to start with a speed option from Shea Patterson to Zach Charbonnet to start the game.
  • The defense came up with a big play right off the bat on a fumble forced by Joshua Uche that gave the Wolverines the ball in prime position to convert inside the redzone, but the offense sputtered out and had to settle for three points. Good football teams convert in those situations, but free points are free points.
