Final Michigan Football defensive PFF grades for 2024 season; advanced stats to know

Under first-year head coach Sherrone Moore, Michigan finished 8-5. But Moore finished the year with an exclamation mark beating Ohio State and Alabama to finish the 2024 season. Moore's hiring of Wink Martindale proved to be a great thing with how well the Wolverines' defense played in the final four games of the year.

Michigan finished 2024 with the No. 19 scoring defense and the No. 5 rushing defense.
