Michigan Football is 4-0 and ranked at No. 14 in the nation, and they’ve achieved this in part by having major success running the football.
Michigan currently ranks fifth in rushing offense, and because of that quarterback Cade McNamara’s opportunities to produce through the air have been limited. In fact, only Navy, Air Force, and Army have thrown the ball less. Michigan ranks 116th in passing offense, although ranking No. 20 in passing efficiency is commendable.
Ahead of Michigan’s road game on Saturday against Wisconsin, UW defensive coordinator Jim Leonhard spoke about McNamara and doesn’t think production in the passing game is a problem for the Wolverines.
