After three weeks of the new season, Michigan's offense boasts these statistics: most net yards rushing for one game (for a Big Ten team), ninth in the country in total offense, ninth in the country in total rushing. The Wol- verines have compiled a 357.3 yard per game average in their com- bined aerial and ground attacks, and an average of 235.7 yards have r been gained on the ground.
