Chris Peterson might be the first guy to start aging faster when he moved from the sidelines to the studio

He was fast, but Corum definitely looks a good bit faster. And Corum is much more physically built/stout. Corum is short, but his legs and arms are massive and he can run between the tackles and get tough yards. Evans was very slight/slender and went down on contact too easily and wasn't always the best between the tackles. Corum is a much better pure runner.

Evans did have his head up his ass quite a bit, but he was also very underutilized and misused. That kid should've been splitting time at slot WR and RB and used in a WR/RB/KR/PR hybrid role how OSU used Curtis Samuels. That was much more his game than RB imo. He was a phenomenal route runner and natural pass catcher.
Agreed. Corum is much better built to run between the tackles. Evans should have been a slot WR.

BYU is up 16-7 at the half, vs the Utes.
Stanford is up on USC by 11 at half.

How are they still ranking Texas and USC in the top 20? Michigan wasn't even preseason ranked, and they've been way better than those two for at least a half a decade now.

Aidan Hutchinson keeps this level of play up all-season- he's going to be a top 10 pick.

red flags to me: 

Michigan's CB's still suck. Vincent Gray and Germon Green are not B1G caliber CB's. The only time any of Michigan's CB's are any good is when they line Dax Hill up at CB. They should seriously just stop moving Dax Hill around and make him play CB full-time. RJ Motten and Brad Hawkins have both shown enough at safety to make Dax Hill move to CB permanent. 

Michigan's passing game still sucks. Not sure how you fix this. The play-calling is ass, loss of Ronnie Bell is huge, and McNamara is a game manager- not sure he's the type of QB that can take a passing offense to the next level.

Gunner Romney is the most "BYU FB" name ever.

Would probably mean upsets? Who is going down? I'm looking at you Nebraska
glad it wasn't the Huskers, but you were right

No real big upsets - glad to see the Huskers but the screws down. I was worried about them.

Well, sure it was an upset - but the Ducks were a top 15 team. I meant losing a game where you paid the other team to be there.

Because they finished last year ranked No. 19 and 21 and didn't lose all their players.
