Four turnovers and 1.0 points per scoring opportunity. That's how you take something decent and make it awful. There will never be an Adjusted Belief Index (ABI), but let's just say that if there were such a thing, Michigan would be 128th out of 128. Watching them is watching a team that knows a mistake is about to happen.
