I think there are a few factors that will help tremendously. 1) Practice and film study. They now have two games under their belt against very good run defenses. There's plenty of film and live reps to look at and correct. 2) This OL is still coalescing. They need more time. Fortunately UTEP is the next opponent, and they are horrible. 3) Babaloa should be healthy soon and allow Frazier to move inside. I think by EOY, Babaloa will be Michigan's best lineman.

- Agree that Oklahoma was probably overrated at #11. Although their defense does seem very good.*** - By Craig September 13, 2026 at 08:44:49 AM
- I think Beck has to trust Bryce more in the pass game. He looked a lot more comfortable yesterday than the week prior. Still a lot of work to do. The run game is just not working (m) - By crumbs September 13, 2026 at 07:59:16 AM
  - I thought he looked super accurate passing yesterday, most of his misses the WR had both hands on the ball - By DoctorD September 13, 2026 at 08:34:30 AM
    - UTEP is a badly needed opponent, need to see success with intermediate and, gasp, a long throw or two to build confidence. Few breaks in the schedule, need to take advantage. - By plug September 13, 2026 at 08:40:41 AM
    - Agree, the near pick was a great play by the OU DB. I really hope they open it up vs UTEP. Keep building his confidence and becoming more balanced .* - By crumbs September 13, 2026 at 08:39:46 AM
