It comes down to having receivers who can get open in single coverage and having a QB that can hit them a couple times per game for easy scores. There were two easy TD's and maybe a third that MI would have had on deep passes to open receivers. All overthrown just like BYU has done so many time in recent years.
Yewtah's front 7, or 8, are good against the run. You gotta beat them deep when they are playing to shut down the run.
