Michigan's offense continues to struggle in loss to Michigan State
Summary

Michigan fell to Michigan State 15-6, marking the second time in three games that the Wolverines scored just six points. Head coach Kyle Whittingham expressed disappointment in the team's lack of offensive production, mentioning the struggles with a turnover margin of minus-eight and inadequate rushing yards. With three regular-season games left and bowl eligibility looking unlikely, the Wolverines will face tough opponents in Oregon, UCLA, and Ohio State. Whittingham plans to evaluate the coaching staff and player performance after the season's conclusion.
