Michigan's Personnel Puzzle Unraveled | Michigan Wolverines Football News

Michigan’s opener against Western Michigan revealed bold personnel shifts: heavy reliance on the “Rhino” package and max protection left key receivers like Jaime Ffrench sidelined, while tight end Jalen Hoffman got snaps over veteran Zack Marshall. Defensively, Zeke Berry played half the game as Broncos favored running plays, prompting Michigan to pack the box — a tactic that may not work against pass-heavy teams. Edge rusher Nate Marshall saw only eight snaps but is expected to get more playing time soon, especially in passing situations. The Wolverines are clearly adjusting their approach — and will need to unlock their skill players and tweak defenses to handle tougher opponents.
