Michigan didn't achieve its desired results in 2014, stumbling to a 5-7 record during what ended up being Brady Hoke's final year as the Wolverines' head coach.
Consequently, there won't be many, if any, high marks given during this position-group-grading slideshow.
Of course, Greg Mattison's defense led the way, so it'll get the best grade. Michigan's rush defense was outstanding, but its pass coverage was spotty throughout the fall. Those mistakes will reflect in the assessment of the secondary.
Doug Nussmeier's first (only?) year as offensive coordinator was exactly opposite of what was expected. Instead of taking leaps and bounds, the offense actually hindered what could have easily been an eight-win campaign.
Basically, the breakdown goes like this: The pass offense/defense, run offense/defense, special teams and coaching will be separated into sections. Each area will then be analyzed and tagged with a grade.
