Not a bad article, but it's major flaw is that it is based solely on the spring game. This offense will not look anything like the spring game.

agreed. I'm sure he will revisit it before the game. However that's all there is to go on right now.

Only if you haven't paid attention to practices and press conferences. ;)

Getting rid of the Victors walk sucks. Got to see it once a couple years ago.

As for this game, I'm thinking 31-20. I think special teams will be a mess and the D will give up a couple huge plays.

45-17.

UM actually makes a field goal in this one.

How confident are you guys that they will cover the 13 point spread?

Sound like Kelvin Grady and Vincent Smith will be on KR duty, while Jeremy Gallon will be PR.

Nice drive by Western. If they can keep that tempo up, Michigan could be in trouble.

Not a good start for Michigan defensively, gotta be better than that.

Is it me or does Michigans secondary look the exact same as last year? Giving huge cushions and letting the opposing QB nickel and dime us all the way down the field

That looks like the Michigan defense I grew to know and love last season. Giving up a TD to Western Michigan on their first possession.

7-0 Broncos

No amount of coaching or scheme can make up for having former walk-ons and MAC rejects on the field.
