Sun Sep 15 16:50:15 UTC 2024: ## Michigan Wolverines Stumble, Drop in Rankings After Narrow Win Over Arkansas State
**ANN ARBOR, MI** – The Michigan Wolverines escaped with a victory against Arkansas State on Saturday, but not without raising concerns about their offensive performance. After a strong first half, the Wolverines faltered in the second, leading to a quarterback change with Davis Warren replaced by Alex Orji. The shaky performance comes as a warning sign for the Wolverines, who face a formidable USC team next week.
The win, while not convincing, failed to impress the US LBM Coaches Poll, dropping Michigan from No. 16 to No. 17. Meanwhile, their Week 2 opponent, Texas, surged to the No. 2 spot. With looming matchups against No. 3 Ohio State and a rising No. 12 USC, the Wolverines are facing a challenging schedule ahead.
The team’s performance against Arkansas State has raised questions about their offensive depth and consistency, particularly in the quarterback position. The coaching staff will need to address these issues quickly to ensure their success against the upcoming tough competition.
