Three things to watch in Michigan football's Week 3 matchup with the Arkansas State Red Wolves, as the Wolverines look to bounce back from their loss to Texas
After being humbled by No. 2 Texas at the Big House last weekend, Michigan football is in need of a major bounce back as it prepares to host Arkansas State out of the Sun Belt Conference this Saturday.
With that in mind, here are three areas that we'll be keeping an extra close eye on when the Wolverines battle the Red Wolves this Saturday.Michigan's offense has been anemic through its first two games, averaging just 272 yards per game . The Wolverines fell behind early last week against Texas and had to abandon the run game for much of the second half as a result.
Cornerback Will Johnson has one half of the field secured from a coverage standpoint, but Michigan may have to go back to the drawing board with its No. 2 corner after redshirt freshman Jyaire Hill struggled mightily in the first two games. Defensive coordinator Wink Martindale mixed man and zone coverage against Texas, but neither was very effective. The Wolverines are no doubt missing senior Rod Moore at safety as well, but he remains 'Out' while recovering from knee surgery.
