By the numbers: Quick look at Michigan football vs. TCU

#Michigan can exploit the TCU defense.

It’s been a historic season for Michigan football.

For the first in program history, the Wolverines have won 13 games. En route to doing so, Michigan has accomplished three out of four goals so far: beat Michigan State, Ohio State, and win the Big Ten.

In order to accomplish Michigan’s final goal, win the national championship, it must win two more games. But the first foe the Wolverines will need to get past is TCU.

It’s truly uncharted territory, the Wolverines and Horned Frogs have never faced one another on the gridiron and the first meeting will come in the College Football Playoff.

Both teams were in their respective conference championship, but TCU lost in overtime to Kansas State, while Michigan defeated Purdue. There are a lot of similarities between the two teams, especially on offense.

Here is the statistical comparison between both Michigan and TCU from an offensive and defensive standpoint.
