Stock Report defense is here.
What a showing for the Wolverines.
Two players who recently saw their stock fall are stock up this week. I deep dive into Penn State's gameplan, and how Jesse Minter is taking the defense to the next level in "year 2".

Same school that produced Blake Corum, Derrick Moore, and Nikhai Hill-Green.

Both blowout wins so it didn't seem to matter.

But this aspect needs to be cleaned up a bit.

One play in particular a guy of ours on defense just flat out lined up offsides.

Need to build better habits despite no hard games until ohio state.

Is there any obvious weakness?

Substitutions still are kinda an issue.

LB core is still suspect.

I ask because regardless of what you think of tucker, he isolated our weakness in both 2020 and 2021 and gameplanned to exploit it.

I still haven’t been able to find how to stream B1G+ to my year-old Samsung smart TV. The B1G+ web page says it’s available on Apple TV, but when I search for it there, I get a “no results” response.

But maybe that’s a good thing. The B1G+ web page says that for $69.95 all Michigan hockey games can be streamed. Or for $69.95 ALL Big Ten hockey games are available. I checked the B1G+ schedule and not one Michigan hockey game appears on the schedule. In fact, very few hockey games are on the schedule, maybe one or two each Friday or Saturday nights, but NO MICHIGAN GAMES! I checked the schedule all the way into December.

I’ve pretty much concluded that the Big Ten Plus streaming network is waaay to poorly designed and over-promoted to put $60-70 of my hard-earned money at risk for NOTHING!

B1G+ appears to be a product to stay well clear of.

Sounds like there will be an unofficial, yet, somewhat official 'Blue Out' for the MSU game on the 29th. Interesting stuff.

Looking at the play develop with the two engaged blockers and the other blocker leading into the space, seems Edwards could likely have scored. Beautiful looking play that didn’t seem common before last season and this season. Agreed?

About this week.

Michigan returns a good majority of its offensive lineman next year, including the starters. Again, I am not saying this is a foregone conclusion, nor am I reporting anything. Anything can happen HOWEVER it certainly appears that the likes of Trevor Keegan, Trente Jones, Karsen Barnhart COULD be back next year, in my OPINION.

That would be a huge win for the program.

Zinter and Hayes, in my OPINION, look more likely to depart after the year but that's not set in stone.

Michigan has the stuff to make another run next year.

First time all year my reaction to these grades were, "WTF?"

Makes total sense here. The right move.

Kid has a hockey tourney there this weekend, TIA!
