Michigan was on verge of major collapse vs. Minnesota, but got generous offsides call on onside kick that Chris Petersen, Mike Pereira said was wrong.

The Wolverines survived a late scare after a successful Gophers onside kick was negated because of an offsides penalty.

Out of five games, Michigan’s defense has had suspect moments in four, with the only OK defensive performance coming against Texas, amidst being blown out. This is a very negative trend, as Wink Martindale’s predecessor, Jesse Minter, was a mastermind at second-half adjustments.
