Michigan D held Ohio State to 10 in Columbus and Bama to 13 in the bowl. 

What a way to close the season, land the #1 recruit in the nation and then beat Ohio State and Alabama.

I keep seeing talk of Milroe being a top draft pick.   

They know way more than me, but I don’t see that at all.

Michigan’s starting true freshman RB, Jordan Marshall, from Ohio,  is special.

Go Blue!

Agree 100%. Freak athlete with a cannon arm but he’s FAR from a polished product. He’s basically mini Anthony Richardson. How’s that working out for the Colts?

He’s a project someone like Andy Reid can take in the 3rd or 4th rd and develop over the course of 2-3 years before he ever takes a snap. Andy Reid has one of the greatest QBs of all time so he doesn’t need to do that…but someone with that track record of developing NFL QB’s needs to get their hands on him and he needs to sit for a few years and develop and learn.

he is legit. them Mr. Football Ohio kids tend to turn out pretty good at Michigan. Pretty sure Desmond, Woodson, & Manningham all were Mr. Football Ohio winners in HS.

B1G is now 5-3 straight up and 7-1 ATS.  Here is what is upcoming:

  • Washington +2.5 vs L'Ville right now
  • Illinois +10 vs USCe right now
  • Penn State -11 vs Boise tonight
  • Ohio State -2.5 vs Oregon NYD
  • Oregon +2.5 vs tOSU NYD
  • Minnesota -7.5 vs VaTech Friday night
  • Oregon/Ohio State winner vs Texas/ASU
  • Penn State (assuming they beat Boise) vs UGA/ND
  • Oregon/Ohio State winner vs PSU/Boise/UGA/ND
  • Penn State (assuming they beat Boise and UGA/ND) vs Oregon/Ohio State/Texas/ASU

Underdogs in Bold. 

So we have between seven and 10 games remaining.  We also already know that we will go 1-1 both straight up and ATS in the Rose Bowl since we are on both sides of that.  In the eight known match-ups the B1G team is only favored in three and one of those is against another B1G team. 

A realistic though perhaps somewhat optimistic hope:
  • Lose the two afternoon games today.  That gets us to 5-5
  • Penn State beats Boise.  That gets us to 6-5. 
  • Rose Bowl gets us to 7-6. 
  • Minnesota beats VaTech.  That gets us to 8-6 with PSU and the Oregon/Ohio State winner still playing. 
At that point we could do no worse than 8-8 with two teams in the CFP Semi-Finals and we could do as well as 10-9 with an all-B1G CFPCG.

I think if you’re Michigan you got a lot to be excited about heading into 2025. Defense should be stout again. That RS Frosh tackle Evan Link looked fantastic down the stretch which is mind boggling considering how bad he was at the beginning of the season. That true frosh tackle Andrew Sprague looked fantastic in his only playing time of the year starting in the bowl game vs Bama and quite frankly he looked like their best OL period. Greg Crippen & Giovanni El-Hadid are back at C and RG. Jordan Marshall looked fantastic. Fred Moore looks like he’ll be a real guy at WR with an actual QB. They added the 6’5 kid from Indiana at WR and are bringing in a bunch of WRs in the 25 class.

Goodbye Davis Warren & Alex Orji, hello Mikey Keene & Bryce Underwood at QB.

Schedule gets significantly easier in 2025 as well.

Nice way to close out a season that started out rough and spring board into a big 25 season and potential playoff run.

Hopefully this shuts down the whining about Bama should have been in the playoffs. 
and ramps up whining about a new coach

Can we discuss that all of these bowl sponsorships are either ways for pyramid schemes to launder money (looking at you 68 Ventures) or chances for legit corporate sponsors to make them weird as hell (Mayo, Cheez It, Pop Tarts)
