Hunt knows Birmingham had the most powerful offense in the league this season, especially on the ground. The Stallions finished the year first in total offense (347.5) and rushing offense (134.7). Quarterback Adrian Martinez is a dual threat in the backfield. He finished with a 15-3 passing touchdown to interception ratio with 528 rushing yards and three rushing scores. 

He also knows Michigan has been a solid defensive unit that makes it tough for teams to dominate on the ground. The Panthers were second in the league in rushing defense (77.9) while allowing eight rushing scores. Defensive end Breeland Speaks is a consistent force up front who gets into the backfield. He notched 32 total tackles, 13 tackles for loss, and 9.5 sacks.
