So true SM. 

I felt like McNamara was extremely solid in that area. 

Either way- just looking at UM on paper - they should be strong enough to beat or compete evenly with ANYONE on that schedule. 
yeah, their non-con schedule is tissue paper soft and their schedule is basically 4 games...

@Iowa - which likely will be a noon game and if it is- HUGE break for them
Penn State at home - my guess is this will be a night game- and if so- HUGE break for them
Michigan State at home
@ Ohio State

Go 2-2 in those games, they're probably 10-2.

their offense does return quite a bit.

WR:
Ronnie Bell - 5th year SR, will be their go to #1 WR and *should* hit 1,000 yards. He's sneaky good, way better than people even realize and by all accounts he's back to 100%.
Cornelius Johnson - going into his SR year, lead team in receiving last year with 627 yards. Pretty damn rock solid, experienced #2 guy.
Roman Wilson - going into his JR year, maybe fastest guy on their team, had 420 yards. Vertical deep threat and rock solid #3 guy.
Andrel Anthony - going into his Soph. year, didn't play much as a true frosh but whenever he did- all he did was flash- averaged 21 yards per catch and had 248 yards as a true frosh- probably the best route runner on their team- just super smooth- has sticky hands- he's one that is going to be a future star at Michigan- I firmly believe that. It was such a blessing to snatch him away from MSU.
AJ Henning - going into his JR year, pretty much just a slot, reverse, gadget play guy. Don't think he'll get many touches- but could be a dude to send in motion and get the defense going the wrong way- he's been lethal on reverses and on returns- very explosive athlete with great top end speed.

Then you have 3 freshmen who have all turned heads this fall; Darius Clemons, Tyler Morris, and Amorion Walker. Don't really expect much from them this year, you have 5 WR's way ahead of them and the TE will also need to get targets.

TE:
Erick All - had a breakout year, developed into a dominant blocker, grew leaps and bounds as a pass catcher and caught 38 passes for 437 yards and 2 TD's. His pass catching #'s *should* only improve.

RB:
Blake Corum - ran for just 48 yards shy of 1,000 yards despite missing 3 games and splitting time with Haskins, averaged nearly 6.7 YPC and scored 11 TD's. Should easily crack 1,000 this year while splitting time with Edwards. Game-breaking speed, play-maker.
Donovan Edwards - didn't get many carries as the 3rd RB option behind Haskins/Corum duo - but flashed with the carries he did get- not to mention he was just ridiculous as a 3rd down pass catching RB. Probably the best pass catching RB I have ever seen at Michigan- don't think it's hyperbole to say he has the type of skills to be a 1,000 and 1,000 back. Wouldn't surprise me to see him take over the starting back role and Corum be the #2 guy- call it a hunch but I think this dude is about to be a monster.

Not to mention, they're going to have a really good OL again. They legitimately have the pieces in terms of talent, experience, and depth to be a monster offense. All they need is the right guy calling the plays and for McCarthy to be the guy.

Oh yeah. RW is probably in the team photo of the best QB's in the Big Ten all time. Wish he was there for 4 instead of one.
Think he could take 4 yrs of  b 2 b last snap lossess - brutal :cheer:

Obviously, I don't think for UM awin in Cbus as being likely, but they will be favored elsewhere I think.

And I didn't expect the win last year in AA, so it's possible.  Yes, I'm saying it's possible.

Ohio State absolutely should be favored and will very much more than likely win that game.

Michigan should have a shot though, with JJ methinks. With Cade? Doubtful. Need to score points to keep up with that juggernaut in Cbus.

well for starters the game is at home. that really helps. playing on the road in the B1G is tough. you don't just come into Columbus and win. 

second, I highly doubt Ohio State's defense will be anywhere near as bad as it was last year. and while Michigan should still have a really good OL and run game in 2022, they lost Haskins- the type of back who just hammers it between the tackles and punishes a defense. Ohio State defense didn't want any more of Haskins by the 4th QTR. Corum and Edwards are really good- but they aren't that style of RB. last, Michigan lost it's edge rushers who dominated the OSU OL. They aren't getting 15 pressures from one guy this game- I can promise you that.

You guys are talking about OSU v UM already? There’s far too much that can happen from now until then.
