The first game for both teams is always a crap shoot. No matter how much practice and film watched we really don't know what Michigan or Minnesota has. Before the traditional preview on Friday, we take a look at what we know and what we don't.
Michigan
Know:
- Deep and talented at RB
- Deep on the Offensive Line
- Should have good LB play
- DL is decent but not deep
- DE's Hutch and Paye are NFL Prospects
- Dax is probably the best player on defense
Don't
- Can Joe Milton live up to the hype?
- Brand new group of WR's
- Are the CB's any good?
Minnesota
Know:
- Gophers QB Tanner Morgan and WR Rashod Bateman are really good
- Even though the 2 above guys are dynamic, The Gophers prefer to run the ball
- Minnesota lost a number of guys off their defense from last year
Don't:
- Minnesota has COVID and injury concerns, how many and who?
- Rumors are the offensive line has been hit
- Everything else, it seems the defense could be a concern
Like every 1st game of the season, more questions then answers. Watching college football for 2 months, it will be an ugly football game on Saturday. The winner will take home the Little Brown Jug, that we know for sure.
- I think the ESPN's made up story about Harbaugh's contract is very funny and not at all accurate.
- Don't forget the Big Ten is kicking off on Friday Night. Illinois @ Wisconsin (Lovie's biggest win at Illinois was the win over Wisconsin last year - The fighting Brandon Peters!) The Badgers are favored by 19 points.
- 2021 Instate DT Rayshaun Benny has delayed his announcement which was expected this weekend. Not a good sign for the Wolverines.
- Penn State Basketball Coach Pat Chambers has resigned after an internal investigation of new allegations of inappropriate conduct by the coach.
