2. Offensive line improvement under Ed Warinner

In just one season, Michigan went from having one of the worst offensive lines in the Big Ten to having one of the strongest units. It’s wild how much difference a coaching change can make as Tim Drevno moved on and Ed Warinner came in to lead the line.

Sure, having a more effective, mobile quarterback certainly helps, but the Wolverines went from ranking 91st nationally in points per game to 19th. The Wolverines also went from 4.4 yards per carry as a team to 5.0 per carry and 5.2 yards per play to 6.2.

Michigan’s offense took that next step because it had a coach finally developing a strong offensive line and Warinner took the Wolverines to that next level.

Keegan has to notice that kind of thing as recruits look at the success and development of their position groups and Michigan may have the most improved unit in the conference.

With a coach developing an entire unit into one of the best in just one season, Keegan knows he can learn a lot from his position coach and get even better in a short span.
