Where Michigan football ranks national stats after Week 7

Michigan football really enhanced a great many of its numbers when it comes to statistical rankings after Week 7.

In nearly every defensive category, the Wolverines rank in the top 10 now, while the offense continues to see its numbers creep up everywhere but in the passing game. The corollary to rushing for 418 yards against Penn State on Saturday is the Nittany Lions dropped some 50 spots from No. 5 in the country in rush defense, too.

Now that the Wolverines are 7-0, here is where they rank in every major statistical category, ranging from offensive stats, defensive stats, and special teams categories.
