The 2022 season was a great year for the Michigan Wolverines. They finished the season with a record of 12-2 and won the Big Ten East Division. They came second in the AP Poll thanks to their explosive offense, which saw them average 42.3 points per game.
Going into the 2023 season, the goal is to put up a better performance than last season. They have a couple of key players returning, like their quarterback McNamara and wide receiver Bell. However, the most important factor in ensuring that the Wolverines top their last season’s performance is their coaching staff.
