Just confusing why M didn't use Evans more last season

probably had to do with pass pro. Plus he was pretty slight in the lower body. Contact brought him down instantly. He needed to add a good 10-15 pounds of muscle and some lower body strength. He was only a 190ish pound true frosh. Not like he came in 220 and ripped to shreds like an Adrian Peterson. Very few HS RB's if any ever have that kind of body. Najee Harris and Leonard Fournette are really the only two that come to mind. Lol. Sky is the limit for Evans though. He is a wizard in the open field at finding space and his hands are about as good as it gets for a RB. Plus while he's not a 4.3 blazer he DOES have that "football speed" gear to hit a home-run.

Also- Harbaugh seemed to have an infuation with De'Veon Smith for some inexplicable reason. Again- probably had to do with pass pro and ball security and De'Veon just being a tough SOB.

So Florida might rotate 3 QBs?

Good luck with that

I'm amazed that now three years into McElwain's tenure they still seem to be winging it on offense.  Stay away from sharks man.

Crazy that having McElwain and Nussmeier two guys who coached at MSU under JLS, in prominent positions, isn't leading to clarity.

I think that's a pretty good guess Cindy, I just feel like the majority of the better athletes in this game are on the defensive side of the ball.

Michigan's offense was decent last year, but they've lost a great TE and some very solid WR's, and Speight was good but not great.

I think UM's run game last year against top opponents was largely just average, and I guess I need to see some better performances there this year before I believe their offense is going to be something that can win them games.

If either team got to 24, that's probably enough to get the "W"

No, McElwain is just messing around because Harbaugh wouldn't release his depth chart.

I do think the hype is over. I think it's just Harbaugh talking/promoting competition. I don't think Harbaugh wants to just hand Speight the job and make him think he can go through the motions. Speight was OK last year. He wasn't special. Not like he's Andrew Luck or anything. My guess is this is just Harbaugh pushing Speight's buttons to get him to work even harder to improve. Iron sharpens iron.

This O'Korn talk is just that. Talk. Job is Speight's.

So they are going to keep the Freak on a Leash?
