- Michigan's offense line continues to struggle and each opponent Michigan has left on the schedule will blitz and try to shut down the run. Michigan has to keep a TE or RB in every time to provide extra protection.
- Urban Meyer lied and continues to lie: he lied at Big Ten Media days, he lied about knowing about Zach Smith's domestic abuse issues, he lied about deleting text messages, and now he is lying during all his 1000 apologies. OSU will sell their soul for wins on the football field and now they have exactly done that. If you watch the ESPN interview, when they pan out you can see Urban rubbing his hands and playing with some bracelet on his wrist. In poker, they call that a tell.
- The Northwestern game will be a 4:30 kickoff on FS1. So Michigan has been on NBC and Fox channels all year long. No ESPN yet, which seems sort of strange. (BTN is co-owned with Fox).
- Jimmy will describe all (except season ending) injuries as "working through something".
- Walk-on WR Jacob West tore his ACL during a kick off on Saturday.
- The targeting penalty is too severe. Throw the kid out for that game, having that penalty effect the next game is wrong.
- Michigan is now -18 on Saturday.
Things we don't:
- How much of the offense have we seen? Who knows? Big Mike Onwenu said yesterday, Michigan hasn't shown half of its offense yet. I hope he is right, but I don't understand how much more they can run without better protection from the O-Line. Lets stop running that RB dive that is called 10 times a game on 1st down.
- What is Michigan going to do at RB? If Higdon and Evans are out this week, Jimmy said, Tru Wilson will play, Christian Turner, and then Hassan Haskins. No mention of Kurt Taylor or Berkley Edwards.
- Why isn't Michigan offensive line better? These are highly rated recruits. Is it coaching? Grey Frey's offensive line at FSU has been terrible so far this year.
- Does Michigan have a safety problem? It seems that position was getting picked on by SMU. How about we put another CB out there when a slot guy is killing the defense? Where is Utah transfer Casey Hughes? He was a little banged up after camp. How about Woods? He played last season.
- Who is going to play QB for Nebraska this week?
- Which teams are good in the Big 10?
- Reports are positive after the Dak Hill visit. That he could be down to Michigan and Alabama. Tough to call at this point.
