Saturday had better get here quick. High School Football was nice but didn't quite do it for me.

My opinion of the depth chart for Saturday.

OFFENSE

QB- Denard Robinson
RB- Michael Shaw[LEFT]FB- John McClogan
WR- Roy Roundtreee
WR- Junior Hemmingway
Slot- Tay Odoms
TE- Kevin Koger
LT- Taylor Lewan
LG- Ricky Barnum
C- David Mold
RG- Patrick Omameh
RT- Mark Huyge

DEFENSE

DE- Craig Roh
DT- Ryan Van Bergen
NT- Mike Martin
DE- Nathan Brink
SAM- Cam Gordon (But watch out for Jake Ryan)
MIKE- Kenny Demens
WILL- Mike Jones
CB- Troy Woolfolk
CB- Courtney Avery
SS- Jordan Kovacs
FS- Thomas Gordon

I expect to see JT Floyd in the secondary when we go to nickel.

Not too sure who they're looking at as far as KR/PR. I'd love to see Josh Furman get a chance.

Anyone know how Greg brown has been doing so far for Michigan? Is he looking at any playing time?

Looks pretty accurate. I'm just curious, because I haven't been paying THAT much attention to it. Is Avery starting over JT Floyd because he's better or Floyd isn't 100% yet with his leg?

Avery has improved a ton since last year. They said Floyd is 100%, which helps the secondary a lot.

Don't sleep on Blake Countess either.

Coach Mattison said there will be times when they move Troy to FS and bring in Avery, Floyd and Countess.

I can see this game being a shootout. Carder will challenge the UM secondary, but Robinson will be too much for the Broncos D.

Maybe I'm just optimistic, but I think Michigan will open this game up and it won't be the close.

Amazing.

1. I LOVE how much attention and emphasis they're putting on tradition.

2. Eminem and "Lose Yourself" ALWAYS makes things better.

3. Is it Sept. 3, 2011 3:30pm EST yet?

Didn't someone on here say a few guys were going to be suspended for this game? Did that ever happen. Not the earlier suspensions that were announced a couple weeks ago.

He Michigan fans need some help, I am heading up for the Minnesota game this year I usually go up once a year. Anyway was wondering where to go to watch the players make the walk before the game where the fans can give high five to the players? What time do you need to be there to watch this? Thanks

Nothing was ever announced. Hope it stays that way! 2-deep was release today and no one was missing.

If it's the Victor's walk you are referring to, they are not doing that this year.

The only reason given was that they wanted to do it better, and until they came up with something, they aren't doing it. Makes no sense and many fans were disappointed.

In your opinion, do you think it has anything to do with stripping away some of the "traditions" that Rich Rod tried to start? "Traditionally," they never did a walk like this/other schools did correct?

That was certainly speculated by some. But they've kept some others, so who knows.
