28-14. Griz control the clock with the run game and grind out a win. This game will be a big indicator on what the remainder of the season will look like imo. Hopefully some questions get answered after this game.
UM, without the threat of a deep ball (Henderson or Van), will likely face defenses that continually stack the box putting even more pressure on an inexperienced OL. UM will have to play the field position/ball control game until one of those guys return.
That puts a tremendous amount of pressure on your defense. Lucky for you, it's awesome, but can it withstand the grind?
When the DL is leaned on as much as UM's is for very long, attrition begins to occur.
