stays the same.


I think UM finishes 9-4. Maybe 8-5. The Harbaugh factor and a good defense still would finish above .500 but a lot of close games. I think UM probably loses both Minny and IU and who knows about the bowl opponent. I think UM still beats Northwestern and BYU at home especially since Rudock wasn't anything to write home about in those games.

Rudock will go down as the transition guy who gave this program a lot of momentum. Not saying Chesson or Smith or the other guys (defense) didn't make significant contributions but this program (IMO) has unbelievable momentum right now even after the MSU and OSU games.

That is really saying something when you think about it. It's like those losses aren't even factored into the present equation. It's like they are a distant memory and the overall season was a rousing success and had no impact on the final review.

Losing to MSU didn't really factor into the OSU loss. The OSU loss didn't really factor into the MSU loss. What does UM gain if they win one of those games...fiesta bowl against ND?...which they might lose. Every thing turned out pretty well...all things considered.

We needed him for the Ws vs Minnesota, Indiana, Penn State for sure... so assuming we lost those games if he wasn't there at best we're likely 7-6 at worst instead of 10-3 without him.

Oregon St, UNLV, BYU, Maryland, Rutgers, NW we win with just average QB play...UF would probably been a little tighter w/o Rudock but based on the way we ran the ball I think we win albeit a little closer game..

If we had Golson we would have won the national championship and beat everyone by at least 6 TDs. :) Sorry Reality Man, but your man-crush was nowhere as good a leader as Rudock was. I know you think Golson is the next coming of Joe Montana, but he stinks!
 
Well w out Jake it would be Morris or Speight so....6-6...maybe? Considering the circumstances we couldn't have asked for much more from QB this year.
