Michigan football ran the ball at a 79% clip last Saturday in its win over USC. U-M could benefit from continuing to use a ground-and-pound strategy.

Michigan's 27-24 victory over USC was the most-watched game of college football's Week 4, according to CBS Sports, with 6.321 million viewers. It was also the most-watched Week 4 game on CBS in a decade, peaking at more than 10 million viewers on Saturday. Additionally, it was the most-streamed September game ever on CBS-affliated Paramount+.

Michigan football was left for dead, counted out after losing to Texas — the first non-rival to beat the Wolverines at home since 2015 (outside of the 2020 COVID year). But after beating USC, suddenly, the maize and blue have life anew.
