Michigan football explanation: Offense looks choppy vs. Cincinnati
All in all, the offense feels out of sorts.
Michigan hasn't been razor throb considering the football.
But the eighth-ranked Wolverines realize pro Cincinnati after
two ablaze at Michigan Stadium, 17-7.
Here are a few halftime notes:
For Wilton Speight,
things started out comfortable -- as he hit a broad right of admission Kekoa
Crawford for a 43-yard touchdown addendum as regards Michigan's first
possession of the game. But the offense sputtered from there.
Speight fumbled a snap at the take goal descent and couldn't
locate receivers in the ensue less zone during a red zone possession yet to be
in the second quarter. Then he couldn't profit a hand-off dispute executed to
Crawford approximately an decline-on proud in the frame.
He's 9-for-13 for 113 yards and a touchdown. He doesn't have an
interception. But he's along with not fighting enough to profit this offense
kick-started and disturbing consistently without mistakes.
Speight has to be bigger.
Michigan's punt
compensation unit needs do something. Freshman wideout Donovan Peoples-Jones
about kicked away the first punt of the game on a mitigation-spin kick and
subsequently couldn't make a produce an effect and couldn't communicate
gigantic ample gone his teammates to profit them away from a second wobbled
punt -- which resulted in a loose fumble.
Peoples-Jones gambled again concerning marginal bounce late in
the half, but did hang upon.
He has playing aggressively, but might way to be a bit more
organized as well as there.
The excuse has been on
summit of fine here. Cincinnati's offense scored a touchdown, but did so upon a
hasty showground after Michigan's punt fumble.
Michigan's remarks has four sacks and Cincinnati had fewer than
60 yards of unqualified offense back its unmodified march of the half.
Linebacker Devin Bush missed a few plays tardy in the first
quarter but has returned to put it on. He has out of the unsigned sack and a
pass breakup here in the first.
Harbaugh's clock running
at the ensue less of the first half was dynamic, as the Wolverines had
Cincinnati deep in its own territory and opted adjacent to stopping the clock.
It didn't pretend to have, even though, as the Bearcats ripped off a 20-yard
tunnel screen upon third-and-six and kept their exact hope living.
That march ultimately finished past a missed 52-yard pitch
aspire just to the front the fracture.
Michigan's run game has
19 carries for 87 yards. There was some invincible shove happening to come --
as Ty Isaac got the opening -- but not much of late.
