Michigan 33 Florida 17

Unbelievably great game by Harbaugh and company. He and Don Brown coached circles around McElwain and his crew.

I will be reviewing the game and commenting on it more soon. And honestly, you probably don't need me to tell how great it was do you?

Mark My Words!: Annual Dose of Preseason Predictions from a Very Optimistic Michigan Fan

-

As the 2014 season gets set to unfold I've got a slew of bold statements, biased outlooks, and straight-up facts that should help in getting any Wolverine fan excited. Yes, I do believe it pays to be positive, even if I've been proven wrong more times than not as of late. This year will be different, mark my words! Anyway, here are some things to think about as the season approaches: Facts: 80% of the roster last season was made up of first and second year players who will now be true sophomores, true juniors, and redshirt freshmen. At least 18 freshmen got significant playing time in 2013, with several collecting a few starts and three making the conference's All-Freshman Team (Kalis, Butt, and Henry). There are more four and five-star former recruits on the roster now than there has been since 2007. Brady Hoke has graduated all 69 of the seniors he has coached since arriving at Michigan nearly four years ago. Attrition has gone down considerably und...

Projecting the New Look Defense

-
Base Defense:  +/- 40% of defensive plays will be run out of some sort of "50" or 3-4-type of formation with a few different subs in play at a couple positions, particularly along the front line. A lot of guys will get the chance to rotate in so I included all the guys that I think can contribute in some fashion this season. The positions where only one guy is listed means that they will rarely, if ever, leave the field. They should be team leaders who won't be really challenged for their jobs at the top and they look like future NFL draft picks. Edge: Aiden Hutchinson - A potential  First Team All-Big Ten player and a first round draft pick next spring. He should flourish in the new system. DL: Christopher Hinton - Could this former 5-Star recruit finally have a breakout year under the new defensive coaching staff?  NT: Mazi Smith/Jordan Whittley - Loads of potential between Smith and Whittley but both also have a lot to prove.  DL: Donovan Jeter/Julius Welschof ...

2020 Recruiting Class Among the Top in the Nation (whether you believe it or not).

-
Jim Harbaugh and his Michigan coaching staff are wrapping things up for the 2020 recruiting class to mixed reviews. It's hard to argue against the talent they did acquire, but most detractors point to the lack of 5-Stars and the few big whiffs on top recruits to end the cycle. The simple fact of the matter is that it is another class by Harbaugh that ranks among the top 10% of college programs. In other words, with a 12th ranked rectuiting class, they were still better than 118 of the other 129 teams out there. Anyway I look at it, it still amazes me how people can be upset about it. Yes, it is true that they are not landing the big-time top-heavy classes that Ohio State, Alabama, and Clemson continue to land, but that is okay. It has to be okay because that's just not where the Wolverines are at right now. It is still a lot better than most though. And just ask Texas, UCLA, Tennessee, USC, and Nebraska fans how they would feel about the prospect of playing the Crimson Tide...
