looks pretty vulnerable. MSU, granted the game was over, gave up a ton of points to WMU which I did not expect. Northwestern looked really solid on D or perhaps Stanford is just that bad now that all the JH recruits are gone. Penn State should be embarrassed but that's not new. Purdue was as terrible as expected. Wisconsin was overmatched by a very strong Bama team. Nebraska lost to a very good team - no shame that. BYU lost it's studly QB - same thing happened last year and they were pretty unstoppable before that. I picked BYU to potentially beat Michigan but with Hill gone, I think we win the game. Curious to see how OSU comes out looking today.
As for Michigan - I was encouraged and discouraged. Encouraged in that we made some adjustments and we looked better in some areas. Discouraged in that I think our offense will be as bad or worse then last year. Our O-line seems like they all have some really bad habits (article about it today). Our RBs can't hit holes to save their lives - I personally felt like Ty was the best back so not sure why he only got a few carries. Ruddock is average at best but our WRs are pretty terrible. I know Ruddock overthrew 2 balls but really great WRs would have adjusted or at least dove to catch the balls. Butt is about the only bright spot on our entire offense. AJ Williams should not be allowed near a football - he's pretty terrible. We just don't have talent on offense unfortunately and unless our D or ST can get us some easy points - this season might be a struggle. Also, our D is good, not great like everyone thinks...still not turnovers - 10 turnovers in the past 13 games now which is pretty pathetic and we still can not tackle - we missed sacking Wilson 4 times. They show flashes of greatness but can not sustain it though.
They say that biggest improvement in game comes from Game 1 to Game 2. I think we need to show some major improvements especially on offense otherwise it will be a long road ahead.
