One of the problems about writing a preview during a pandemic is sometimes you spend most of your time ranting about how the guy averaging 12.2 yards a target should get more targets, and then that guy opts out of the season. The silver lining for readers is that this post does not contain five thousand words that boil down to THROW IT TO NICO YOU BASTARDS.
When you've got three potential seniors and they all hit the eject button you're going to be a little shorthanded, and Michigan is. The good news is that Josh Gattis has been busy recruiting meep meep and some of these roadrunners are no longer freshmen.
Also the leading receiver is back, if only everyone would stop muttering about it.

It's payoff time for Michigan's best-ever WR recruiting class, even if Oliver Martin slipped back to Iowa City. Michigan has some dudes. Established dudes.

In addition to the dudes Michigan has injured dudes and leaping dudes and a freshman dude or two. They've also added a dude to coach these dudes—Josh Gattis, a guy with a superior track record as a WR coach. Gattis is also the OC, so maybe Michigan's leading receiver will finish with more yards than at least one of Bama's top 5 guys. I'm saying there's a chance.

I think so! I'm evidently using the company rhetorical device.
That's dehumanizing.
