Year 3 under RR.

7-5

8-4. Pretty easy schedule next year. Could open up 5-0 before hitting a tough 3 game stretch of MSU, Iowa, and Penn State.

Hard to say without looking at their schedule and defensive depth chart for next year. Any UM fan could supply the depth chart please.

First five are UConn, ND, UMass, BG, and Indiana. I think all 4 losses come in conference.

At least 8...even this guy can't be inept for three years straight.

I have a hard time believing he doesn't turn the corner next year.

i still have a hard time seeing 8 wins from them

It's hard to tell at this point who will be playing where but I could see this happening.

DE(Rover)-Roh (So)
DT-Martin (Jr)
DT-Campbell (SO)
DE-Van Bergen (Jr Rs)/ Ezeh (SR) / Lalota (Fr Rs)
LB(Rover)-Smith (So Rs)
LB-Muton (Sr)
LB-Leach (Sr) / Fitzgerald (Jr)
FS-Woolfolk (Sr)/ one of the SS I listed if Woolfolk has to be moved to CB.
SS-Emilien (So)/ Turner (Fr Rs)/ Robinson (Fr)
CB- Warren (Sr)
CB- Floyd (So Rs)/ Turner (Fr Rs)/ Woolfolk if neither of these guys can get it done.

^ D-Line looks capable... a few questions for u mich fans.

1. What happened to will campbell he was supposed to set the world on fire... did he? I didn't notice him.

2. How are Emilien (did he get much time on D) and Turner (obviously RS, but practice wise) do this year. These two are supposed to be RR's gems in the secondary, just curious if either of them is showing promise.

6 wins

Campbell didn't play much till the end of the year then he started to make some plays. Emilien was suppose to start this year but was out for the year with a hamstring injury. Turner from what I am hearing is probably the best DB they have but he came on campus so late they had to redshirt him. I really like the Dline next year, other then O$U's I think it could be the best DL in the Big10 and one of the best in the country. I also think the Secondary will be a solid group as well, the only thing that worries me is the LB's, I have never been that impressed with Muton and Fitzgerald/ Leach are decent but having a good DL in front of them could help

I honestly don't think Michigan really improved that much this year.

Let's not forget they were 2-6 in the Big 10 last year... 1-7 this year with their sole win being handed to them over Indiana.

Michigan is has a long way to go.

^^^^

This.

Big Will needed to redshirt but circumstances decitated that he had to play a little. Physically he was basicaly ready to play but as with most freshman d-tackle's he need's to work on his technique. An offseason with Barwis and another year to refine his technique and Big Will is gonna be whatever everyone thought he would be. Emilen was side tracked by some injuries and a slow recovery from his acl tear last season. Expect him to play major minutes next year at Safety. I also expect Justin Turner too take over JT Floyd's starting spot next to Warren. The best case scenario is that Mike Williams and Jordan Kovac's do not see meaningful minutes next year...... at all. Michigan is going to be going from paper thin in the secondary to one of the deepest and talented unit's in the big 10 by the end of next year.

I truely believe that in 2011 everyone and their brother is going to be saying WOAH what the hell happened to Michigan because they will be taking the big 10 by storm. Once the rebuild is over there are going to be alot of big 10 programs left in the dust by what Rich Rod has done. Alot of people including some Michigan fan's do not understand the process and just how bad the decay in the Michigan had become. Sure Michigan could have probably gone another 4-5 year's the old way before the wheel's completely fell off but the reward's from what's going on now will be felt for the next 5-10 year's.

Marvin Robinson will be starting at SS before the year is over, kid is a STUD. He plans on enrolling early as well, which can only help.

He's guaranteed at least one loss against THE OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY and you can take that to the bank.

I like floyd at CB, he played pretty well at times for a redshirt fresh. I would rather have floyd keep playing and have turner at the saftey position. Then after warren is gone if it is needed then move Turner back down to CB. I really don't think we will have to worry about seeing Williams or Kovacks playing on anything but special teams, they only played this year because of injuries early on. Hell robinson always called kovacks by the wrong name so he evidently isn't to high on him if he can't remeber his name and they finaly took williams out

I'll say six--they'll be bowl eligible and play in the Little Ceasar's Pizza Bowl vs. CMU,and Ford Field will be rockin'--great for the city of Detroit!!!
