Michigan - The Day Before The Day Before: What We Think We Know

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.
