I'm predicting a Wisconsin win. They'll have revenge on their mind for last years shallacking in Ann Arbor.
This new offense through 2 games.....has been complete ass. Patterson looks lost. I don't want to hear injury excuses. If he's really injured- then he should be on the bench and McCaffrey should be playing. The lone bright spots on this entire offense have been Zach Charbonnet, Tarik Black, and Nico Collins. Those three guys look like LEGIT, future NFL players. The rest of that offense is a shitshow. Patterson has flat out sucked. Ronnie Bell has butterfingers, Christian Turner can't pass block to save his life, and the OL has been a real big disappointment. The RS Frosh tackles Ryan Hayes and Jalen Mayfield just aren't ready for prime time. Maybe they will be towards the end of the season- but right now- NOPE. This offense sucks. I have a really hard time seeing it getting any better. DPJ coming back and Runyan coming back at LT should help- but not sure how 2 guys are just going to fix everything. There are sooooo many issues right now.
Michigan's D looks legit to me, and they will keep it close vs Wisconsin imo. MTSU scored 14 points in real time- their last long TD was garbage time with 1 min left in the game against 2nd and 3rd stringers- and both of their legit TD's in real game-time came off of good field position and Michigan turnovers. Army same thing- 14 points in regulation- and both TD's came off of good field position and Michigan turnovers.
Josh Uche, Josh Ross, Kwity Paye, and Aidan Hutchinson are legit front 7 players. Those guys are some DUDES. LaVert Hill, Ambry Thomas, and Vincent Gray look like as good of a CB trio as there is in this conference. They should be getting Dwumfour and Jeter back at DT this week, which should give the front 7 a huge shot in the arm. Khaleke Hudson continues to be a complete and utter disappointment. It is mind-boggling to me how the kid was such a stud as a sophomore, then regressed as a junior- and now looks lost as a senior. It blows my mind. You thought after that sophomore year that he was going to blossom into a star. It just hasn't happened. Metellus is a solid B1G starting safety, still not sold on Brad Hawkins and the other safeties. They need to start working Dax Hill in at safety and nickel right now. I have no clue what they are waiting for. He's the only one in that safety room that can out-athlete WR's in man-coverage and keep up with them. Michigan won't really face an offense that can exploit that until probably Ohio State. Get Dax Hill prepared for that now- don't wait til it's too late.
