Curious as to how they rotate guy.  McCall always seemed like a big hitter and I wonder if his move to H-back is to get him on the field the most.  Otherwise why not keep him at running back with Weber nursing injury?  Also sounds like Austin Mack is starting, which is mildly surprising.

I was surprised also,appears he's having a good fall camp.Bummed that Burrow broke his right hand would've like to see him get more snaps.McCall(Run DMC) is on the light side for every down type back

I think that's the idea, plus he can do both, plus....they are quietly really pumped about this kid jk Dobbins that backs up Weber.

For Michigan,  Their most experienced returning wide receiver caught less than 200 yards.   They do have a lot of recruiting stars, but I think the consensus is right.  Michigan's receivers may be good someday, but perhaps not this year.

As for quoting the heights of receivers, Rutgers has 8 wide receivers taller than 6'0.  Penn State has 9.  I'm not sure that's a good indicator of talent.  Heck, I'm not even sure recruiting stars are a good indicator of talent.  However, given that Michigan has recruited 9 wide receivers over the last 2 years, I do believe they will find some quality young players.

Perhaps.  Quite excited and happy that the Michigan youngsters get to experience a white out in Beaver Stadium playing the reigning Big Ten champ....and team so loaded with talent.

The quote thing isn't working...but:

Penn State has talent on offense.  I am really worried about their defense.  They have an excellent secondary, but the rest of the defense is suspect.  Not like down-7-linebackers bad, but not great, either. 

Michigan won't need great wide receivers to beat Penn State.  Just a good offensive line.

Iowa's secondary is better, even without the starting cornerback, than expected.

Iowa's QB can pass well, but his overall performance was a weakness.

The receivers seemed to be in better position than they have been in past years.

As for Big Beef Tacosupreme's issues with Penn State -- I didn't see any weaknesses today.
