Michigan’s offense under Jason Beck has been a total disaster, one of the worst in the FBS and regressed from last year. Stark contrast to Jay Hill’s defense.

How about a story about some good stuff, Jay Hill's group: https://t.co/nT05eIWilX
Kyle Whittingham on his radio show, on the third-and-goal play call:
"Ideally, you'd like to just hammer the ball down hill inside run game and power it into the end zone. It was a bootleg and the route was wide open in the end zone."
Added that the play by the DE was outstanding because Michigan had not shown that look all year and usually the DE crashes down to stop the handoff (in this case, the fake).
Michigan has sent in the Tariq Boney roughing the passer penalty to the Big Ten, seeking clarification, Kyle Whittingham said.
Whittingham noted that he didn't get a good explanation from the officials.
"After the throw, his hand kind of touched the helmet. I said, 'Does it matter how hard he hit the helmet?'"
It's possible Michigan gets RT Blake Frazier back after he missed the Indiana game.
"Boy, we sure hope so. Time will tell. Still early in the week and will have a better read on that after tomorrow's practice." — Kyle Whittingham on his radio show with @JonJansen77
Michigan's third loss of each season in the 12-team College Football Playoff era:
• 2024: Oct. 19 (at Illinois)
• 2025: Nov. 29 (vs. Ohio State)
• 2026: Oct. 24 (vs. Indiana)
@CSayf23 Then Rutgers week is the time to open up the playbook but a big showing against them really shouldn't count for much. No more excuses. #GoBlue
Kyle Whittingham believes Michigan has enough talent on offense.
"We've got to coach better. We certainly have the talent to be better than we are right now. Absolutely."
Kyle Whittingham is "happy, thrilled, elated" that Utah is off to a 7-0 start, noting that "we left them with a lot of good players, and there are good coaches there."
Whittingham was the head coach of the Utes for 21 years.
NEW: Michigan isn't going to 'panic' making a midseason OC change, but it also has little to offer by way of answers right now.
Kyle Whittingham: 'Plain and simple, we're not getting it done from a coaching standpoint at this point in time.'

Michigan senior tight end Zack Marshall will be available this week after missing two-straight games, according to Kyle Whittingham.
During the Wolverines' bye week, Marshall slammed OC Jason Beck in a DM group chat that was leaked publicly, before apologizing.
