Michigan gets back the Groza winner, a Ray Guy finalist, the Big Ten's best punt returner by YPA, a wide receiver who blocked two punts a year ago, and is about to deploy Roman Wilson as the kickoff returner. The question foremost in this preview's mind is whether Michigan will repeat as the best special teams unit in America, as measured by FEI.
Is there a German word for "we thought this guy was a nepotism hire but he's secretly the best special teams coach in America"?

something about golf clubs [Patrick Barron]
I'm not sure what else to say?
Moody was 23/25 last year and had that draw you see on the two Nebraska field goals all year. The draw is comforting like a 30-year-old recliner. Moody puts the ball up, it drifts a little to the left, every time. No funny stuff is going on with these field goals. You could rub warm butter over Rob Thomas and it would not be as smooth as a Jake Moody field goal.
