Michigan football’s passing attack has been a frequent point of concern over the last two seasons, especially compared with the team’s more reliable ground game. While the Wolverines were able to lean on the run, big plays through the air were harder to find, leaving the offense looking unbalanced at times.

That is why Andrew Marsh’s confidence about 2026 stands out. The sophomore wide receiver believes Michigan’s pass game will be better, offering a more optimistic view of where the offense is headed after a stretch of uneven production.

Marsh’s outlook comes as Michigan continues trying to build a more complete attack. If the Wolverines can pair their established rushing identity with more consistency and explosiveness in the passing game, the offense could become much tougher to defend than it has been in recent years.

For now, the main takeaway is the belief inside the program that improvement is possible. After two years in which the passing game drew criticism, Marsh sees 2026 as a chance for Michigan football to take a step forward through the air and give the offense a stronger overall balance.
