can you play EE's in bowl games? I thought the rule was they were only allowed to practice not participate in the games.

good one. 

Michigan just beat Ohio State. Seems like any other normal year to me.

Indiana (11-1) will never seem normal to me. Hopefully it never happens again.

should be 10-2...Sherrone Moore beefed that one.

I doubt Indiana is ever going to have that kind of season in football again any time soon. Stars aligned for them.

I believe so, unless they changed the rules.  I thought Kayvon Thibidoux played in the Redbox Bowl for Oregon against MSU

My brain keeps going back to this topic. Why didn't Michigan do more with Alex Orji? Not more plays, but more complex plays. After he was no longer the started, the only time he was in the game, was a direct snap qb sneak. Why did we never see him in there with Warren or Tuttle on an option? Any plays involved with him with misdirection? Any reverses? Any circumstances with him lining up at wide receiver? The kid had talent and while I understand Michigan wants to win in the trenches, but they probably cost themselves a couple games with absolutely zero creativity. If Orji was in, it was 100% a run. If it was first down, it was a run.. and probably 85% of the time running on first and second down. I like smashmouth old school big 10 football, but you also can't be a creative mental midget either.

BC Orji's running is a bit overrated imo and his passing is obviously terrible. Orji is basically a slightly faster Tim Tebow as a runner but he can't even throw a lick. Orji doesn't have that instant acceleration like a Denard, his change of direction ain't that great, and his top end speed is kind of lacking for an elite QB runner....he's 4.6-ish on a good day maybe even slower...which is good for a QB that can actually throw. As a one trick running only QB? That's pretty meh. 

My brain keeps going back to how bad were Jadyn Davis and Jayden Denegal in practice that they couldn't get snaps over Davis Warren, Alex Orji, or Jack Tuttle?

Yeah but this year they're on the radar of the helmets.  Lot more potential for losing your players to the portal when the helmets and NIL power programs are looking at you instead of past you.
