Isaiah Hole From Wolverine Wire Dropping Some Pre-Game Intel

Don't kill the messenger but Isaiah Hole from The Wolverine Wire just dropped this intel from one of his sources before the game:

Spoke to one person close to the Michigan side of things, who couldn’t speak publicly and requested anonymity, about a litany of subjects heading into the VRBO Citrus Bowl.

Here’s what I’ve got:

• Jess Speight is starting at defensive tackle against Alabama.
• Carlo Kemp is still very banged up, but will play. Though it might just be a handful of snaps.
• Michigan is incredibly confident on offense. Expect a big game on that front, provided it executes.
• Donovan Peoples-Jones is about 50/50 on returning.
• Cesar Ruiz is leaning towards leaving.
• Barring a significant promotion in Ann Arbor, expect Chris Partridge to sign with Ole Miss as defensive coordinator as soon as tomorrow.
• There’s a rumor that this could be Nick Saban’s last game with Alabama, as he could be making a jump to the NFL to take over in a front office role with an NFC team. That’s not obviously from a Bama source, so grain of salt on that front, but we’ll see if Alabama comes out on fire if that’s been indicated.

That is....a lot. And a lot, in my opinion, of bad news for the boys in Maize and Blue. What say you?
