Whittingham takes blame after Michigan's 15-6 loss to Michigan State
15 sourcesUpdated Nov 8, 20261 min read
Michigan lost 15-6 to Michigan State, producing just 192 yards of offense and turning the ball over four times in a damaging defeat that cost the Wolverines the Paul Bunyan Trophy. Coach Kyle Whittingham called the performance a major step backward and took responsibility, while saying he would not make an immediate change at offensive coordinator Jason Beck; he said the staff would evaluate the situation after the season. The loss leaves Michigan 5-4 and raises concern about its bowl prospects as it faces a difficult remaining schedule. The performance has intensified criticism of Whittingham and Beck, with some commentators and fans calling for coaching changes, though those calls are opinion rather than any announced decision.

Michigan's offense looked completely unprepared and the low yardage total raises real questions about the whole staff.
Whittingham should stop protecting Beck and make a change at offensive coordinator after those four turnovers.
