2016 Michigan Predictions/Including Schedule

[scfanblue]

Just my humble opinion: Iowa

#1-O'Korn will lead the Wolverine offense this year.
#2-DL Strength and depth will allow the LB unit to become more experienced by mid season.
#3- Morris will play some at receiver this year and Crawford will turn into a super frosh receiver.

Schedule
1. Hawaii- Win
2. CFU-Win
3. Colorado-Win
4. Penn State-Win
5. Wisconsin- Trap game-tossup
6. Rutgers-Win
7. Illinois-Win
8. MSU-Win
9. Maryland-Win
10. Iowa- Tossup-probable loss (night game in Iowa)
11. Indiana-Win
12. OSU- Win in Columbus.

Big Ten-Championship game- rematch of Iowa vs Michigan- Michigan wins- in playoffs

I think Michigan finally beats MSU but loses at Iowa and at OSU. 2017 will be different though will those games at home and an experienced QB.

all I know is we will most likely lose to ohio state that's the one game I know for sure we will lose

I just don't see Iowa having the season they had last year.

Hawkeyes get 8 wins max.

As for Michigan 11-1 loss to Sparty or Buckeyes probably Buckeyes.

Go Blue!

You really think home to Wisconsin and at Iowa will be harder then MSU?

Wisconsin will be tough. People need to stop disrespecting them.

 

[scfanblue]

Penn State will not lay down, Wisconsin will be very tough at home, MSU will be brutal in East Lansing, Iowa in a night game!!! super tough. OSU in Columbus (speaks for itself.

12-0...we run the table this year. OSU may have the most talent of any team but we are the most experienced team by far - 18 of 22 returning starters or something insane like that. Assuming we can stay healthy, I think we run the table with some very close calls. I do no see a scenario this year where we lose to both MSU and OSU. While Iowa is a tough place to play at night I think our defense will get the job done.

Now injuries are a part of the game - look at what happened to us once Glasgow went down. While we have a lot of depth there are basically 2 players we can NOT afford to get injured - Peppers and Lewis. Lots of CB inexperience behind Lewis and a very thin LB crew without Peppers. Also, I really hope that JH is coaching the defense on how to stop spread teams because I expect both OSU and MSU (with their new QB) to go spread on us.

Michigan has more all-conference players back than anybody in the B1G. 2017 is a step-back year with all of the upperclassmen Michigan loses after this year.

2016 is the year. Gotta at least win the B1G this year. I understand that people are afraid of expectations, but go ahead and live a little. Get those expectations up!

I agree - in my mind anything short of 10 wins with a win against either OSU or MSU would be a disappointment. We have 3 tough games on the road and if we go 0-3 in those I would say 2016 was a flop of a season - of course major injuries play a significant role in things - see how much we regressed post the Glasgow injury for instance.
