The latest on some big names:

Picked up some injury notes on a couple of guys. As always, won't get specific on what the exact injury is so I am always purposely vague for that reason.

This is what we've picked up.

- After talking to some folks, it would be a pleasant surprise if you see Amorion Walker this season. His injury he suffered in camp is lingering and is turning into a multi-week thing.
- Will Johnson is healthy enough to play but we're told his injury is of the 'nagging' type so it's something he will have to fight through but shouldn't be very detrimental to him long-term. Hurt, not injured.
- Makari Paige has been playing but we've yet to see Rod Moore, Moore continues to be a precautionary sit. I am told both are 'close' to full-go.

That's all I have for now. Will keep asking around.

Yikes

Due in large part to Fox getting permission for a 10am MT kickoff to put CU-USC on Big Noon Saturday.

Kaapana seems to be a real breakaway artist. Last year he wracked up some real gaudy-good ypc averages, and just picks up where he left off.
Is he just THAT fast, or what? I have seen limited tape on him. Guess I need to look up his 40 time, but betting he is f a s t.

I have been very concerned about our O line all season. First two games was run blocking and last night was pass blocking. also what the hell is up with edwards. ? I mean not running aggressively is one thing but blowing blocking assignments ? Special teams. always a strength. looks like a potential liability. Secondary will be fine I think when we have our starters in. and I like D line and LBs. We do not have a game breaking WR maybe outside of roman - where is Clemons ??? Morris looks solid but not a game breaker - then last night JJ was absolutely horrifying - I certainly hope that does not carry over and he needs his RBs and O Line to pick up their blocks and he needs his WRs AND TEs to run proper routes - speaking of TEs - Not impressive so far- AJ really goofed up his route that helped lead to JJs first pick which I think rattled him for rest of game
On top of that. I hate to break it to you but Rutgers looks much improved. esp on defense
Can we put this all back together ? Of course - and it seems clear that we badly missed game day Jim. maybe esp JJ last night where Harbs might have been able to calm him down. In retrospect maybe the 4 difft coach thing wasnt so great - esp on offense. No continuity
Pre season is over - everything is still in front of the boys. Everything is still there to win - But improvement needs to come and fast and no one knows it more then they do
Final comment - Chemistry Do they have it ? Like the 21 and 22 teams ? Hell like the 97 team ( I am reading Mountaintop right now - great read ). So much of a teams success is chemistry Even beyond talent. Do we have it ??? We shall soon see !
As always. Go Blue !

That's the Add/Drop Deadline.

Staff member mentioned the other day that he had not been admitted yet.

Not sure if that means he has all the paperwork and TOEFL and is waiting or is still working on getting the requisite TOEFL score.

Nevertheless, he is either a Michigan student on Monday or he's not.

If he is, he can play right away.

If he isn't, then he has to work towards getting enrolled for the winter semester and can start school and playing eligibility then.

The semester is starting the 4th week on Monday so the mystery will be forced to reveal itself.

I know some were nervous about that but things are now looking good on that front after 3 games - altho there were a few snapping issues but Doman was able to maintain. If the snapping issues continue (hopefully not) Doman appears up to the task-anybody know anything about the snapper? @Josh Henschke

has aged like a bottle of Boone's Farm wine.

Weston Port, 2025 LB out of California. Think Michigan has a great shot.

Teams that can keep him in the pocket and get pressure on him. He's at his best on the run outside of the pocket. He's just not good when hes surrounded on all flanks and has to stay in the pocket and throw.

who was carted of on a backboard and stretcher...hope the young man is OK.

A lot of good stuff in here.

and Kim is not a good QB. We should win by 21+.

The early line is ohio state -3.

I think this is gone be a high scoring affair.

Sam Fartman is playing well. Their rb estime is gaining a lot of yards.

ohio state is still ohio state.

My early thoughts are ohio state by 10, but I do see a path where notre dame wins.
