Michigan became the first FBS team since Minnesota in 1903 to hold 15 different opponents under 25 points in a season. Michigan became the first national champion to have a lead at halftime in every game it played since Miami in 2001. Michigan became the first team in Big Ten football history to finish a 15-0 season.
@jeffcolling9569 The hypocrisy! 😂 Unlike ohio, Michigan didn't have wins vacated and a post-season ban because Tattoo Tressels was cheating so much. You're like the poster child for the pot calling the kettle black! 😂
Very insightful Spring Game. We are good at the QB position. We have identified 2 that are ready with differing styles. Orgi can morf into Denard Robinson on steroids and Davis Warren can sling it around. RB room is 4 deep at least who must play. The front four DL combined will be the best in the country. OL has been well developed as far as getting in the weight room while those draft picks were playing ahead of them. We are reloaded. It’s going to be another good year.
After watching the spring game, I think you’re exactly right in your prediction for be strong and very tough to beat again this coming year . Their defense will be strong right from the beginning and once their offense gets moving the way they want to after two or three games they could be extremely good by the time they go to Columbus at the end of November.
Warren and Orji. Either can bring us back to being big 10 champs. Casuals think Michigan is going to fall off. They’ve got no idea the players we’ve got back
Warren is mix of Cade and JJ. Orji will make to many mistakes if he gets the start. I've been a supporter of Warren being the starter since JJ declared for the NFL. Maek my words Warren will be the starter by week 3
Biggest issue is the schedule- Oregon Texas and pains me to say Ohio🤮🤮 all look like title contenders. But Michigan looks like a physical, physical football team. They should have a chance in each of those games even if the offense takes a step back
@@stevenselleck5460texas lost a lot & their defense is HORRENDOUS ranked 104th last year against the pass and 79th against the run. & we get them at home. Oregon is starting a new QB and also lost players and again we get them at home. OSU is the toughest since it’s away & their roster is 5X better than Oregon or texas.
@@zandercerlong9693 oh yea- not saying those teams are unbeatable but just tough. We look like a physical team that can challenge anyone, I don't see any games that are automatic L's just tough ones
@@stevenselleck5460 for sure tough. Our saving grace this year is the fact that its 12 team playoff and we are the champs as long as we beat a couple good teams we could still get into the playoff with 2-3 losses then who knows what could happen once there
@@zandercerlong9693 agreed. Tbh i don't even see qb taking that much of a leap back. Orji is a better rpo guy but warren has better touch on the deep ball. I think the competition will help both. And edwards looks like he's ready to take off and dominate on offense. Plus loveland, offense should be able to get 30+ a game
Michigan was SOOOO deep last year and most people still on this roster got lots of playing time because almost all of their games were over by halftime
You are so right they are not going to miss a beat after listening to some former Michigan players they said the defense has a chance to be better than last year defense. Also In. the spring game Michigan does a draft so they mix and match there teams but believe me if able to fine tune Alex game they have a chance to go back to the championship game but the key is Alex.
Every game is a playoff game in the minds of these players so no, they aren't going to the playoffs because they haven't left the playoffs in their mind. Much like telling you to go to your mom's basement. You won't go there because you're already there.
Wow. Love the positive take. Stil angry you picked Washington in the title game (lol, just kidding- love your channel). Count this year's Wolverines out at your own peril. Alex Orji and Davis Warren both have a lot of time to develop before Fresno State. No one's mentioning how Donovan Edward is both bigger and running harder than he was last year. He will be a force to be reckoned with, mark my words.
I liked what I saw from Orji with his ability to run the ball. I even liked how his numbers looked at the end of the day. My only issue is that I never saw him go to a second or third read and so I am concerned that he might not be the guy that this offense finds its best success around. I am hoping that I'm wrong but Orji does make me a little nervous in terms of better defenses having answer for him but maybe not. After all, thisnis college ball and he has 4 more months to learn as much as he can.
I think we will be solid this year. I do predict we will have some games where our offensive line and WR And QB will have some bad plays. That will cause some concern but they will get better as the season goes on
This is going to be a spotted bag of tricks at best… but not at all a bad place to be in. Orji looks fantastic, he’s got the same things he’s gotta work on this slowly getting better, Davis Warren did step up, but he didn’t step out of all we expected he stepped up in where we knew he would be. As for Denegal, if anyone makes a break for the transfer portal, I’m predicting he’ll be first… he’s ancillary at this point, but he has snaps Warren doesn’t... so, that would be his logic to stay - and as for the young guy Davis, he only had one snap so, for me what do you want to say? Lol In my mind it’s going to be: 1. Orji 2. Warren 3. Denegal 4. Davis I think what Sherrone Moore is gonna end up doing is exactly what Jim Harbaugh did when you had bubble quarterbacks, where they’re right on the bubble, play them both until the bubble bursts, and one advances At any rate, the thing to be proud of is that Michigan’s QB bench is stacked and the defense looked awesome… M Go Blue🏈
Warren and Orji both looked great. I wouldn't be surprised to see both of them get a lot of playing time this year. I think I am personally leaning towards Warren (this is all personal opinion) just because we already have the Don and Mulligans in the backfield so we have dynamic runners.
Usc, oregon, michigan, washington and osu have new qbs and lost players to draft. I dont know whats gunna happen but its gunna be interesting, i think penn st will be top 10 this year and will compete but sure franklin find way to screw it up
@dearriusprice150 dummy they has atleast 3 guys at each position who was plug and play period not having depth was why osu lost to Missouri. If you don't know michigans roster than don't speak on it.your only fool on here acting like michigan will be rutgers next season. You osu fans so dumb thinking you'll be great becuase you have transfers and returning players who already lost to michigan.
This is a physical, physical football team. Really like what Moore is trying to build (or has built honestly). Qb play won't drop off as much as some will think. Will need a few pieces in the portal at receiver and o line but i see nothing that tells me this team can't compete for a playoff spot and challenge the top teams this year. Go blue
Teams will run cover zero and cover 3 zone blitzes to force you to throw deep on them Orji has the arm idk if he has the accuracy yet. WR position is just as a question mark as the QB
Not really lol if you pay attention you know what each guy brings to the table except maybe Semaj but at the same time they’re one Big bodied receiver away from being a balanced offense
Michigan defense is going to keep them in every single game. Only real question is does the Oline hold up if they open up the run game than this team will absolutely be in the playoffs
Also keep in mind the offense score 24 points on the defensive that the most any team scored on them last year and we all agree the defense is not taking a step back they will be a national title contender 11-1 this a my prediction and a Ohio state rematch in the big ten championship game and then another rematch in the national title game
Not sold on QB1 yet but a nice change of pace to have and a better downfield passer for sure. I think Orgi’s contribution to the run game still gives him the edge, but fall camp will tell the tale.
@@Marc_Masters Lies. If it was a real game, that last one would have been a TD easily. There were also a couple other plays where he was called short of a 1st down but could have muscled his way to a 1st down in a real game.
I've been saying this since JJ left. Davis Warren should be the next Michigan Qb he is better than Orji as a Qb. Yes Orji can run but Warren is a more complete Qb compared to the rest of the Michigan Qbs. You are going to be wrong about Orji and Warren will be the starter by week 3
Big mistake not running rpo every play w orji! Ruining his running strength! Hes another Vince Young! Stop protecting against injury! Tex didnt w Young! Orji has killer run ability!
@@jamietwigg4845 "if it looks like a duck - -" Clone of approach used fr JJ! Start Tut or Warren v Frezneck st, couple of plays like last yr fr Orji. Tex staff is not the brightest! They will prepare their D like v JJ. Then start Orji and run RPO every play! M cld get 14 pts bef Tex can adjust and w M's D, enuf to win!!
Don’t worry we’re not showing All of our plays just running a vanilla offense for the televised spring game bets to believe it’s in our playbook if you watched Michigan last year Orji just ran the ball when he was in now this year he’s definitely passing
Those UM LBs and DEs looked really slow and unathletic when Wink had them drop back in coverage during those "exotic" blitzes. If that blitz doesnt get home and a QB can extend the play in a scramble drill, it could get ugly. Its gonna be interesting to see how well those coverages hold up against teams with athletic TEs and RBs who are also skilled receivers.
@@johnnyoldenjr. Most of the guys who played the last 3 years aren't there anymore, plus the season that defense was most effective was last year, when you had guys with years of game experience in that scheme. One of the knocks on Wink by Giants' players was he made things more complicated then they needed to be, and that was from NFL Pros. I saw more than a few plays where the LB/DE lost track of a guy in coverage, especially in the flat and drag routes, and an experienced QB and OC are going to make you pay. I'm just pointing out what I saw. I guess we'll find out early enough against TX. If Ewers and Sark have a huge game passing to RBs and TEs, just remember, I saw it coming way back in April.
@BulletProofSoul1029 oh rookie yall dont follow michigan close enough to truly talk about them.. kenneth grant, mason graham, will johson, quinton johson, makari paige josiah stewart. All didnt played they are all veterans that have started games last year. Hausmann at linebacker was in the rotaion on last years team. The defense is loaded if you knew what you were talking about you would know they didnt play. Those edge rushers dropping out is what michigan has done the last 3 years its not something new.
Gonna see lots of trasheye trolls clog up the comments with their trash takes but who's got the rings and who's a sucknut.. Anyway here's my thoughts: 1 ) QB will be fine as look as they don't go all jameis Winston 2019 30 for 30.. 2 ) RBS need to see more because edwards is a nice change of pace RBS.. 3 ) WR : still need a big 50/50 wide receiver that wins a jump ball.. 4 ) no concerns about the TE they will be just fine.. 5 ) o-line with more reps and a little bit of time will be just fine seen some good some bad.. 6 ) D-line rotation is a little concerning .. 7 ) LBS are fine no issues there.. 8 ) DBS communication still cornerning but with more chemistry they will be just fine....
@@thetruth1223it was a scrimmage made up of all kinds of players. UofM didn't have 1s against 1s scrimmage, it was a hodge podge of teams, missing about 6 key pieces, some of the 2024 class isn't even at school yet.
If Orji is the starter all year I see a 8-4 season if Warren starts I see a 9-3 or 10-2 Warren is the more complete Qb I've been saying this Since JJ left
Freshly minted 3 year probation. What was the scholarship reductions? Amount of fine? Which coach refused to cooperate and was one of five apparently given show-cause sanctions. Do some journalism take a break from obvious football claptrap,
There are plenty of idiots in Ohio with RU-vid channels that can act like what happened was a massive deal, go watch them if you want to have your delusion validated.
No scholarship reduction. Fine doesn't matter. Jim was the one that didn't cooperate, NCAA split him out of the case. All but 1 of the coaches are no longer with the program.
@@jamietwigg4845 Was there a follow up that said no scholarship reductions? What was the fine? So Harbaugh was the uncooperative person that they said would be dealt with later?
Sounds like Bucknuts. You'd think they'd have way more championships than Michigan in the last 20, 30 or 50 years. They dont. They're the cheap suit version of Alabama.
@@jamietwigg4845 I am here to prove stupid people and liars like you wrong. This is a FACT....Michigan was THE softest program in college football just prior to their 3 game streak when Ohio State beat them FIFTEEN out of 16 times.
Cmon JD. I feel like you’re being a little bit disingenuous, and hopefully not on purpose. How many Mich players were 4+ year players? that’s their MO. There will be a significant drop off
It's exactly their MO and they are still a veteran led team. Donovan Edwards is a senior. Kalel Mullings is a grad student. Jack Tuttle is a seventh-year player. Davis Warren is a senior. Orji is a junior. There are four seniors projected to be starters on the O-line. The fifth is a junior. Both of the top tight ends are juniors. They also have six players in the front seven on defense that are at least all juniors and have already started games in the Big Ten. Two of them are projected to be first round picks. They even have an All-American corner returning along with a fifth-year senior captain returning at safety. Michigan has been developing these guys themselves and the team is built to win now. Believe it or not. It really doesn't matter.
@@freeheeler00yes still tons of veteran talent on team 145 and not only vets but some of the best players in the nation at they’re respective positions
Let’s be honest last season CFB was in a down year! zero truly dominant teams. All the heavy hitters from Alabama, Ohio state, Georgia, Clemson were all having down years! Michigan just happened to have its best year in school history with their 44super seniors, 9 transfer portal players, MVP Stallions for 80% of the season and they still barely got it done! Barely got by OSU by 6 with Honda McCord, barely beat Alabama in OT (one of Sabans worst teams of his career)and struggled with Washington til halftime! 😂
Your math sucks! Michigan played 5 regular season games after the the Connor Stalions story broke. So five B1G teams had the chance to make effective adjustments before they played UM -- that's just under 42%, not 20%. If you figure in the three post season victories, Michigan played 8 of 15 games after the Stalions accusations broke -- 53% of opponents/ games. Michigan proved itself beyond any doubt, so NO, you're definitely on VERY SHAKY GROUND with your specious argument. Time to rethink
@@maryohara1224Sorry Poindexter! You’re right you had Stallions for 9games of the regular season and didn’t have him for the last 3! Then U played an Iowa team with zero Offense and beat them how impressive! Then u beat one of Sabans worst Alabama teams! U can get caught up on the numbers but facts are facts! Plus it’s actually much more than 80% if u include the previous 2 years when Stallions first joined your staff which just happens to magically coincide with Michigan starting to Win games🤔 very interesting
@@abh3136 15-0, beating the #1, #2, #3 defenses (YPP, at the time) in a span of 4 weeks (unprecendented) and then Alabama. When they were up by 3 v. OSU, they physically overwhelmed OSU with a 7 minute drive to basically end the game. The ONLY time they were behind late in ANY game was Alabama and they got 2TD and 2 Stops to win.
The question is, if they were bad would you actually say that? So everything is all positive for every team?! Give me some balance, NO TEAM IS PERFECT, don’t just say the positives give me your concerns as well, smh
@@DavidCastillo-re5jf micheapigan was the softest team in the county for the longest period of time, just before those measly 3 wins, When they lost FIFTEEN out of 16
Michigan will be an 8 and 4 team with losses to Texas ( by alot), USC, Oregon ( by alot), and Ohio st ( by alot). No Big 10 championship game and no playoffs. Enjoy 4th place in the Big 10! 😂
Why would they lose to teams who all lost their starting qbs and key players, all those teams except for penn st are in same boat as michigan. Not sure how you came up with this I'd like to hear reasons why
I think too many people are forgetting what the Michigan program was before they cheated their way to 3 good seasons. I expect a steady regression after the entire roster and coaching staff left. They’re facing some serious penalties from the NCAA after the on field sign stealing investigation is wrapped up. Acting like all is okay and they future is bright, just seems like you’re missing out on some very important things.
@ajw9151 ........skull dragged no but but there was times where a certain Michigan coach dressed up in another teams gear posing as that team's coach with really cool inspector gadget spy glasses on to tape signs. Ha ha that really happened. How embarrassing.
