The 2025-26 Michigan offensive tackles were marred by youth, inconsistency, and significant injuries that proved too much to overcome. The young players were forced into major roles and looked lost on passing downs.

Following A Heavy Roster Turnover, Michigan’s Linebackers Need To Be Solid
There is pressure on the 2026 Michigan Wolverines linebacker corps. Last season, the unit featured Jimmy Rolder, Ernest Hausmann, and Jaishawn Barham; the group was elite and the heart of the Wolverines defense. Newly appointed linebackers coach Alex Whittingham (brother of head coach Kyle Whittingham) is tasked with preparing the unit for a new defensive…

Dave Filoni Gives His Vision For Star Wars Going Forward
One thing that has grated on the Star Wars fan base is the lack of a clear path forward.

Michigan Defense Not Switching Entirely To Single (Man) Coverage
The Michigan football team has played a similar defensive style dating back to the Jim Harbaugh era. Under Harbaugh, the team employed a man-heavy 4-3 scheme and was highly aggressive. When Sharrone Moore took over, he tweaked the defense to a 4-2-5 nickel base defense. Enter Kyle Whittingham, whose defense runs a different scheme entirely…
Despite Concerns About His Age, Kyle Whittingham Is Recruiting Very Well For Michigan
When Kyle Whittingham was introduced as head coach of the Michigan Wolverines football program, questions quickly arose about Whittingham’s age (66 years old). Fans and national media wondered if he could recruit top talent, given his years of recruiting under-the-radar prospects at the University of Utah. Both fans and media are finding out that age…
For The Michigan Football Team To Improve An Offensive Line Overhaul Is Needed
A trademark of Kyle Whittingham-coached teams is a solid offensive line. Last season, the Michigan Wolverines offensive line was, at times, downright offensive. Finishing the season tied for 73rd nationally in rushing, 157.2 yards/game, and allowing 66 tackles for loss for a total of 18 more than the previous season. The line never found consistent…
