eye on the wolverines: Rich Rodriguez's biggest regret, Michigan football team's defensive woes and more Gator Bowl thoughts
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - The numbers look like football’s equivalent of a grisly accident scene.
The Michigan football team’s defense allowed 458 points and 5,860 yards this season, both the worst marks in the school’s esteemed history. Opponents averaged 35.2 points and 450.7 yards per game.
Astounding numbers.
None worse than the yardage total. In 2009, the Wolverines defense gave up a then-record 4,720 yards. This year, they smashed the record by 1,140 yards.
