Michigan’s offensive approach is under the microscope as experts and fans dissect the Wolverines’ effectiveness against a top-tier Oklahoma defense. The team’s reliance on a balanced run-pass scheme has shown glimpses of brilliance, but inconsistencies in execution have raised questions about their adaptability in high-pressure situations. Critics argue that further creativity and unpredictability in play-calling will be essential for Michigan to penetrate Oklahoma’s robust defensive front, especially as the margin for error narrows in this critical College Football Playoff matchup.

Key offensive challenges facing Michigan include:

  • Over-reliance on early downs to establish rhythm
  • Increased pressure on quarterback decision-making under blitz schemes
  • Limited utilization of explosive play opportunities
