Michigan football is looking at a major overhaul, and that can be a good thing under new coach Kyle Whittingham.

Michigan football lands Jason Beck as offensive coordinator, with ESPN confirming Kyle Whittingham’s first major staff hire in Ann Arbor.

On 3rd-and-10 from the Longhorns' 25-yard line, Texas quarterback Arch Manning found receiver Ryan Wingo for a 22-yard completion, bringing the Longhorns near midfield. Two plays later, freshman running back Christian Clark ripped off a 22-yard run, bringing the Longhorns to the Michigan 31-yard line.
