CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — After losing to Washington in Week 6, Michigan football went back to the drawing board, and it had time to work things out. The Wolverines spoke of urgency but not panic as the maize and blue intended to recalibrate during the bye week.

Michigan had two fumbles and an interception, and very well could have had another interception, against Illinois. You’re rarely going to win games being -3 in turnover margin. Two of the turnovers, again, came from the quarterback position with Jack Tuttle fumbling once as well as underthrowing Colston Loveland on what could have been a touchdown.
