ANN ARBOR, Mich. — The Wolverines offense has been predicated upon running the ball through four weeks. But what will happen if it runs into a brick wall against Wisconsin in Week 5?
The Badgers have the nation’s top-rated run defense, allowing just 23 yards a game, which means Michigan may have to pass the ball, something that Jim Harbaugh acknowledged to ESPN, as running the ball was the particular strategy used for the opponents played thus far. That could mean a heavy dose of Cade McNamara come Saturday in Madison, but McNamara didn’t have the best of second halves this past week against Rutgers.
On Wednesday, Michigan quarterbacks coach Matt Weiss met with the media to discuss the state of the Wolverines quarterbacks, what he’s seen from McNamara and true freshman J.J. McCarthy. Why McNamara earned the job, his philosophy on playing true freshmen and even his reaction to the Baltimore Ravens — his former team — winning against the Detroit Lions in dramatic fashion.
Here is everything Weiss had to say.
