Michigan Wolverines finally remembers they have elite offensive weapon to threaten defenses with, snaps embarrassing Michigan cold streak

The Michigan Wolverines didn't make a lot of moves in the transfer portal at wide receiver, but they did make one big splash when they added Indiana transfer Donaven McCulley. All offseason long, we heard how McCulley was the only serious receiving threat that had emerged for the Wolverines throughout camp.

Despite this, Michigan's passing game wasn't consistent in their ability to feature him as a receiver. McCulley had a combined nine targets against Central Michigan and Nebraska, finishing with six catches and 75 yards with zero touchdowns. The lack of a threat on the perimeter allowed defenses to load the box and stuff the run. Reliability has been hard to come by in Michigan's wide receiver room, as the unit already has 14(!) drops on the season.

Against Wisconsin, however, Michigan remembered that McCulley is their most talented receiver and finally unlocked their passing game, giving the Wolverines enough of an offense to overcome the Badgers at home 24-10. McCulley snapped a Michigan cold streak as well this week, and might have forced future defensive coordinators to respect what he, and the Wolverines, can do through the air.
