How about Penix? Is he hurt? Looked like he pulled a hamstring last week, 4th quarter just before the 12 min mark. Finished the game limping and only handing off.
My money is on the Wolverines and I believe Penix will not be close to 100%.
Canada has a population density of 11 people per sq mile, U.S. has over 92 people per sq mile. Look at Upper Peninsula, 1 in 1414 residents tested positive compared to 1 in 135 for the entire state.
France, Spain, Italy, Belgium, UK, Sweden, all have more deaths per million of population.
As a head coach you should have a plan, both offensive and defensive. You go on the recruiting trail and you should chose those that fit your "plan". Jim realized he needed to change his offensive plan, just like Nick Saban had done and Kirby Smart just did, to name a few. Not all those current players fit that new plan, i.e. Ben Mason.
I like Gattis, good move on Harbaugh's part. But it will take time! Am sure the 2019 offense wasn't Gattis' first choice, rather he adjusted to what he had. Took half a season to get moving, and then only in spurts.
I'm a college football bettor. Two things made me smile preseason; #1 All the hype for Scott Frost and the Huskers, #2 This is the year for Michigan, Meyer has stepped down. Are you kidding me! Michigan had limited talent at RB and they missed spring practice along with top WR's AND with a whole new offensive system and OC. Add to that a weak defensive interior. I ended up at 61.6% win rate for 2019, not fantastic but profitable. Most of my wins were on Ohio St, Penn St, and against Neb.
This year looks much better for Michigan except that schedule! Why does Ohio St get the soft schedules?? Washington is a must win. Have to win those big road games! Stay healthy. And that defensive interior better get a bit bigger.
A bit late with this post but here goes.I've been betting the Big10 this year out here in Nevada. Doing well at a 70% win rate.
As some have already said, Michigan just needs to stay focused on getting better every week. AND DON'T GET HURT!!! Maryland has lost to UM last four by large margins, same should happen here. MSU a wounded animal, need to put them down early. Indiana the worst team to play before Ohio State. I call it the Hoosier Hangover. Ohio State was 0-5 against the spread (ATS) after playing Indy last five years (Miami of Ohio game not included) MSU was 1-4 ATS after playing Hoosiers. Michigan a bit better at 2-3 ATS after Indy. The Hoosiers bang you up! Ask Wenovich.
But Ohio State hosts Penn State before Michigan. Maybe the Lions gouge Fields eyes, spit on them, etc. That is always a tough game for the Buckeyes. Let Young be dinged up like Winovich was last year and see what happens. And believe it or not folks, Ohio State has weaknesses and can be beaten! Ryan Day way too conservative in the 1st quarters with his inexperienced QB. Thirteen straight running plays before they let Fields throw the ball against Wisc. Badgers D was changing coverages and Ohio St had to see and figure them out before throwing. Don Brown will see that! Penn St should have the lead after the 1st quarter, maybe at halftime. Watch and see. And that defense is beatable if you handle their leaders. Wisconsin basically ignored Young and it cost them.
Those on here who believe Michigan has already lost, don't come back here after they win!
GO BLUE!!! BEAT OHIO ST. BRING BACK THE JOHN COOPER DAYS!!!
The offense starts with the running game. Get your run game going and respected then defenses move up to stop the run and the passing game opens up.
THERE IS NO RUN GAME!!!
Wilson hampered by broken hand and Charbonnet his knee obviously limiting his carries. And Charbonnet runs with his head down not bouncing it out when he needs to.
Get the run game going and everything falls into place. Easier said than done.

How…

Meanwhile our LOCKDOWN Governors walk the streets with protestors hand in hand, many with no masks!
Oh, that's OK.
About Canada's low virus rate vs U.S.
Canada has a population density of 11 people per sq mile, U.S. has over 92 people per sq mile. Look at Upper Peninsula, 1 in 1414 residents tested positive compared to 1 in 135 for the entire state.

Avoidable? HA!!

Exactly!!! Did you see that sack in Slo-Mo? Sprained ankle at the least. It was twisted pretty good!
nice rumor, maybe true. One thing I do know, no one gets their ankle twisted like he did and does not at least have a sprain.
The guy is hurt. Maybe the thumb news a deflection when real problem is bum leg! Or maybe both!
Dobbins having 36 carries has to have him a bit sore too.
I keep asking myself why OSU had 61 rushes and only 22 passes against Penn St. Something not right!!!

On the ground, in an aircraft hanger, in Ohio for God's sake.
NO THANKS!!!!

GOMBLOG has it right, lack of running game makes for bad passing game. Gotta have both.
Charbonnet and Wilson need to be healthy. Force those safeties up!
Patterson better start hitting those crossing routes too. Drives me crazy to see the pass behind the receiver!! Bell has been a savior!!
