Michigan is leaving no stone unturned in its pursuit to flip five-star Belleville (Mich.) quarterback Bryce Underwood from his commitment to LSU.

According to a report from CBS Sports, the Wolverines have put together an NIL offer "closer to double" than the $5 million package that was reported by On3 in late October. This indicates that Michigan and its financial boosters may have put together a deal approaching $10 million for the No. 1 overall prospect in the 2025 recruiting class.

As I said at the beginning of the season, Michigan is legit on defense, has stud running backs, and maybe the best TE out there.  If they have a serviceable QB- they will hang with anyone.    

They now seem to have a serviceable QB.   Indiana is a LEGIT TOP 5 team. UM pushed them to the brink on their field.  I was impressed- they had no give up in them.

Michigan had three timeouts remaining when Indiana began a drive from the Wolverines' 42-yard line with 1:35 remaining in the fourth quarter. After an 8-yard gain on a first-down run by Ty Son Lawton, Michigan allowed nearly 30 seconds to tick off the clock before calling a timeout. Although it ultimately didn't matter, as Indiana sealed the game with a first down on the next play following a 4-yard rush by quarterback Kurtis Rourke, the decision was met with scrutiny. Moore was asked about the situation in the postgame press conference.

"Yeah, just talking about conversations of what the play call was going to be, what we were going to do," Moore said. "That's where that all came from."

Indian's Memorial stadium is nice.  It's a little steeper than Michigan Stadium so you still have a good look in seats in lower numbered rows.  I wish that they had handrails going up the center of the isles for old people and people with crappy knees like me.

Michigan's defense played well especially in the second half.  However, offensive play calling was making me pull my hair out.  They'd drive down the field with Warren, get inside the 10, and then put Orji in?  Cost points every time they did that.  Going for two late in the game and they go with an empty backfield?  That's like holding up a big fat sign saying "We're gonna pass the ball."  Indiana also figured out that when Warren scrambles to the left he passes for shit unlike to the right were he's pretty accurate.  It felt like Indiana was trying to move him out of the pocket to the left.  Michigan needs to blast the OC out of Ann Arbor with a circus cannon.  Michigan is back to being a basketball school for the next couple years. There is no magic bullet to fix the offense anytime soon.

Exactly all of this. You don't like putting Orji in and running up the middle over and over again? 8 of 10 times he gets a yard or 2, 1 out of 10 times he gets 5-6 times and 1 out of 10 times he fumbles. 10 out of 10 times Michigan's offense is the most predictable horrible offense i've seen in AA and that includes the Nick Sheridan offense.
