Michigan football defense sets benchmarks for upcoming season

Michigan football is implementing objective benchmarks under new defensive coordinator Jay Hill as it prepares for the upcoming season. Hill emphasized goals, such as limiting opponents to under 100 rushing yards and achieving at least seven combined turnovers and sacks each game. He noted the significance of winning the turnover margin, highlighting his previous experience at BYU. With fall camp nearly complete, Hill has installed the full playbook, aiming for maximum effort and physicality ahead of the season opener against Western Michigan on September 5.
