The Wolverines have one of the worst turnover margins in the country through seven games. Fixing it is their No. 1 concern.

When it comes to turnovers, MSU is in a similar boat to that of Michigan. The Wolverines are ranked No. 117 in turnover margin, and the Spartans aren’t that far ahead, ranked No. 111. Both teams have lost 15 turnovers through seven games, but MSU has managed to get one more takeaway in that span.

After losing to Washington in Week 6, Michigan football went back to the drawing board, and it had time to work things out. The Wolverines spoke of urgency but not panic as the maize and blue intended to recalibrate during the bye week.
