Michigan Offense 'Close' as Lindsey Prioritizes Ball Security Before Northwestern

Overview

• Lindsey said self-inflicted turnovers and pass-protection lapses are stalling an otherwise improving, run-first offense.
• Michigan conducted a team-wide ball-security drill during the bye at head coach Sherrone Moore’s urging.
• Freshman quarterback Bryce Underwood committed two red-zone turnovers against Purdue, an interception and a fumble through the end zone.
• Lindsey expects Underwood to progress with more reps and praised his late-night film study and work ethic.
• The Wolverines visit Northwestern at Wrigley Field on Saturday with a noon ET kickoff on Fox.
