MICHIGAN WOLVERINES

In the past 50 years, Michigan has only had two seasons with a .400 winning percentage or worse. The Wolverines went 3-9 in 2008 and had a completely forgettable 2-4 record this year.
Whether Jim Harbaugh comes back or not, we almost have to assume Michigan will improve just because it's Michigan.
Will it be Joe Milton, Cade McNamara or true freshman J.J. McCarthy at quarterback?
Will Ronnie Bell return to lead the receiving corps, or is he headed to the NFL draft?
Was Hassan Haskins rushing for 100-plus in each of the final two games a sign that a huge junior year is forthcoming? Or could Zach Charbonnet bounce back from an underutilized sophomore slump?
Will Don Brown's replacement at defensive coordinator actually be able to generate some pass rush in 2021?
I don't know the answer to any of those questions. But there is just too much talent for this team to be this bad again. And the defense allowing 34.5 points per game had to have been something of an anomaly after five consecutive seasons of holding opponents below 21.0 points.
