ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Though there are aspects to the Michigan football defense that remain a work in progress, the Wolverines have improved tremendously across the board.

In particular, the defensive pass game is so much better, and after six games (the total amount of games played last year), the secondary is giving up just 190.7 yards per game compared to 250.5 a year ago. That’s not only a 60-yard difference, but it’s the difference between being the No. 22 pass defense and No. 90, as it was a year ago.

Still, there are a lot of things that Michigan defensive pass game coordinator Steve Clinkscale wants to improve upon. He shared more about the secondary — the corners, safeties and nickels — what he’s seen and what he’d like to see.

Here’s everything he said on Wednesday as Michigan prepares for Northwestern.
