With three games in the books, it's clear that this 2024 Michigan team is still very much a work in progress. Although there have been some bright spots both offensively and defensively, there are also some question marks in several key areas - mainly at quarterback.

Following the 28-18 win over Arkansas State, the Wolverines improved to 2-1 on the season. But the win did very little to instill confidence that this Michigan team can continue the success from the previous three seasons, as a difficult conference schedule still lies ahead.
