Texas screen game could be critical against Michigan
AUSTIN, Texas — A year after the Michigan Wolverines allowed three yards per carry and nine rushing touchdowns, Lou Esposito’s defensive line returns star defensive tackles Mason Graham and Kenneth Grant and edge Josiah Stewart.
In last week’s win over the Fresno State Bulldogs, the Wolverines only gave up nine rushing yards on 22 carries (0.4 ypc) with a long run of nine yards. Even removing the 30 yards lost on three sacks of quarterback Mikey Keene, Michigan still allowed just 19 carries for 39 yards (2.1 ypc).
