Somehow 42 points Aren't Enough: Michigan Football Falls to Purdue 48-42

—

Certain types of ineptitude are inevitable during coaching changes. At least that's what I've been willing to tell myself. Offensive, defensive, and special teams ineptitude have been Michigan's hallmarks all season. It may seem a little funny to list these units individually, as simply saying ...
