For a second consecutive week, Michigan put out a lackluster performance in front of its home crowd. Although Michigan's Week 3 result wasn't a loss like Week 2 was against Texas, the Wolverines arguably left their game against Arkansas State with more questions than it went in with.

The quarterback situation remains unsolved, and the defensive reserves got worked by Arkansas State's offense late in the game.

With Big Ten play beginning next week when Michigan hosts USC, time has run out for Sherrone Moore's team to find answers to its unsolved problems.

When playing an opponent like Arkansas State, a win typically results in minimal movement in the polls, and that's exactly what happened to Michigan. The Wolverines dropped one spot and came in ranked No. 18 in Sunday afternoon's AP Poll.
