Mason Graham is a man child in the middle...

Semaj Morgan is going to be severely under-utilized and remain pissed off all season because Michigan doesn't have a QB that can get him the ball....he's a really good WR imo...

Orji is learning.  He has a huge arm but is still learning how to see the field.  Do you remember JJ not seeing open receivers?  I do and he got better.  Orji hasn't thrown that many passes in actual games and his long passes this year have all been a bit too long.  Better too long than too short.  Orji will get better now that he's starting.  I guess I'm hoping that it'll be enough to make Michigan's passing game dangerous enough to help with the running game.  Opponents will still stack the box no matter what.

Idk. I have my doubts and I'd love to be proven wrong by him. But point blank period he's definitely a MUCH better option than Davis Warren- who is a walk-on that sucks and should never see the field at a place like Michigan let alone be a starter. The only reason for Davis Warren to ever see the field at a place like Michigan would be to unload the bench and your 2nd, 3rd, and 4th string QBs have already taken snaps so might as well let the 5th string walk-on QB get a couple reps. That's it. Period. End of story.

Davis Warren brought absolutely nothing to that offense and in fact he only hurt it and hindered it because of his inaccuracy and bad decision making/interceptions. Orji at least brings a plus to the run game. Just having him back there changes the math, makes the defense have to account for him and makes it 11 on 11 and not 10 on 11 like it is with Warren. And just having Orji back there will freeze DE's and LB's for split second and make them hesitate and have to think OK is the QB handing it or pulling it and running. With Warren that's never even a thought- they know they can just crash down on the back.

So even if Orji can't throw- he's helping the run game FAR more than Davis Warren- and ontop of that at least he's not throwing an interception every 10th pass attempt like Davis Warren who sucks- was.

Just run the ball on offense and protect the football- don't turn it over, play stingy defense, play excellent special teams & the field position game and Michigan will beat most teams on that schedule.


OL is slowly improving as well and starting to click, as evidenced by this metric below.
