Michigan "first" predictions for 2011

Submitted by Controversialidea on

So seeing as we are close to the first game, I figure we may as well make some stupid predictions.  So:

What do you think Michigan's first offensive play vs Western will be?

Who do you think will be the first Michigan player to score a TD?

Who will be the first (true or redshirt) freshman to score a TD?

Who do you think will be the first Michigan player to record a sack?

Who do you think will be the first Michigan player to intercept the opposing quarterback?

1) They'll have Denard try to take it through the middle

2) #16

3) Rawls, if anyone

4) Martin

5) Avery, but on the other hand, Denard will incercept his own passes. He's  just that good.

Play action roll out to the right side of the field.  Will have one and only one guaranteed open open target, either coming across from slot or tight end.  Pick up of six.

1.  In a surprising move, Hoke/Borges bring out the Peace Corps package.    Kennedy takes the direct snap, fakes a power dive to Mike Cox, then hits a wide open T Robinson streaking up a seam.    The play goes for 25 yards.  This makes Denard happy and he smiles.

so i will just go a little OT for anybody who is thinking the same thing, but I am a little surprised that this game is predicted to "test" Michigan.  I just don't see it.  Not attempting to jinx, but this is practically the same team (personnel) that destroyed Western 2 years ago only now they have facial hair and can at least realistically attempt to use a fake ID.  Western could not even pretend to compete with Michigan that year.  And Western was good that year and M was 5-7.  I kind of expect this one to go the same way.  Am I off base here?

1. I have to agree with those before me: G-power left. Ommameh destroys fools in the hole.

2. Stephen Hopkins (short yardage goal run)

3. Thomas Rawls (garbage time on saturday)

4. Mike Martin. The Hulk is back, and he's pissed off.

5. T-Wolf, of course. He will announce his return with a howl and a pick sx, yo.

Run up middle

Fitz

Rawls

RVB

T-Wolf

Against ND, I expect the first play to be pass off of a play fake of whatever run they do on the first play this week.  I hope we see a very boring playbook this week, and that it has no resemblance to the one we see against ND.

A boring 35-14 game would work out fine.
