Fresno State (0-1) at #9 Michigan (1-0) Postgame
« on: August 26, 2024, 10:44:04 AM »
Michigan hosts the Fresno St. Bulldogs 7:30 Saturday night on NBC.  Michigan is favored by 21 and I don't expect the Wolverines to do anything new or surprising ahead of next week's game.

It would be wise to not overlook Fresno. Always feisty with a chip on their shoulders.

agreed. but when you have a huge game like Texas the very next week, sometimes it's tough to get 18-21 year olds to stay on track and just go one week at a time.

I don't think Michigan covers. It'll be a closer game than anyone suspects. And that's totally fine. They key will be just remain healthy and try to establish the run. Give that new OL a bunch of work and feed the RB's and let's see what Alex Orji can do with his feet. I'm suspecting a couple big WOW plays by Orji in his first start ever.

got it. my guess is they will be playing LOT of EDGE and secondary guys to try and see if someone separates and figure out the depth there.

I actually really like their WRs and think they are underrated. Fred Moore, Semaj Morgan, and Tyler Morris are all twitchy explosive athletes. Morgan had an excellent rookie year and some real flash wow plays as a true frosh last year, super explosive change of direction and acceleration. Morris is a former 4* top 100 recruit and just so smooth and fluid, scored that TD vs Bama in the Rose. Moore didn't play much as a true frosh last year but he might be the fastest player on the team and showed that all spring and might've been the best player on offense in spring ball. Amorion Walker is a wild card. Not expecting him to do much- but they switched hm back to WR and there isn't a better pure athlete on that entire roster. 

I feel like they'll be fine at WR. And Michigan just doesn't play a style that highlights the WRs- they don't throw it very much. Not a ton of opportunities to shine. 

The $64,000 question is....will they be fine at QB?

But Tedford came back, and then left again, correct?  He's still just the interim
