While there will be plenty of time to dissect what exactly what went wrong when the season officially comes to an end, it's already painfully clear that head coach Sherrone Moore has some very specific things on his to-do list when the off-season arrives.

For Michigan and its disappointing season, the second bye week couldn’t have been placed at a more inopportune time. Yes, the 5-5 Wolverines are coming off back-to-back losses to a pair of top-10 teams,

The struggles Moore has endured were thrown into sharp relief again as he failed to outwit the 63-year-old Curt Cignetti, a seasoned coach who, in his first year in Bloomington, has led the Hoosiers’ remarkable transformation from perennial Big Ten also-ran to College Football Playoff contender.

If there were any lingering doubts, Michigan's 20-15 loss to No. 8 Indiana in Week 11 provided irrefutable evidence that Sherrone Moore is not the man for Michigan. His head-scratching and, frankly, unforgivable mistakes were the sole reason the Wolverines were not able to pull off the upset.

The group up front has taken a major step back this year under new offensive line coach Grant Newsome, a surprise given the continuity on staff and Moore’s history with the line. Injuries have played a part continuity-wise, a departure from recent years when the group seemed to work well together no matter who was in there.
