BREAKDOWN: Connor Stalions DISSECTS Offensive Line Miscommunication PLAGUING Michigan's Passing Game | Is It Fixable?

Michigan Wolverines offensive struggles against Purdue expose critical pass protection breakdowns that could derail their season. Can quarterback Bryce Underwood and the offensive line fix their communication issues before the Ohio State showdown?

Connor Stalions breaks down film to reveal the root causes behind Michigan's passing game woes, identifying miscommunication between center Greg Crippen and Underwood as the primary culprit rather than execution failures. The discussion highlights Jordan Marshall's bruising run game success, averaging seven yards per carry, and explains how Michigan's diverse offensive scheme—featuring split zone, counter, and boot concepts—is reverse-engineering defensive run fits. Stalions offers complete confidence in Underwood's mental toughness while detailing the strategic adjustments needed during the bye week. Key topics include protection call responsibilities, the evolution of Michigan's offensive identity throughout the season, and why timing these fixes perfectly for rivalry week matters more than dominant performances against lesser opponents.

Discover the technical insights and game-planning philosophy that could determine whether Michigan Wolverines football peaks at the right moment this season.
