The #1 DL returning in the country a Top 5 secondary coming back including a new NCB and CB2 (right now the projection for CB2 is DJ Waller another 6'3" DB that can run and play physical giving Michigan 2 of the biggest most athletic corners in the country) and at LB don't forget they will be starting the #1 transfer LB from the 2023 season and freshman all American in Ernest Hausmann and added next to him another top LB from the portal this year in Jaishawn Barham another all American caliber backer all this to go along with like Greg said the amount of snaps so many of these guys have already played, Michigan's ability to rotate and keep guys fresh all game and the fact that Michigan's run game should still be very solid giving the defense time to rest more times then not. There is no reason to think that Michigan wont have another top 10 or top 5 defense at least.

You don’t say much on Mason Graham considering he is the top rated DT in college. The new Lbers are faster then last years group. They may give up 10 points a game. Insiders say this defense is better this year.

Sherrone Moore has been gifted a program that won the last 3 B1G Ten conference championships, was in 3 straight CFP's, and just won the most recent natty. Jim Harbaugh has also created a culture that "turns 3 stars into 5 stars", and no more proof of that can be found then when MI has the most players ever drafted from one later this month. If Moore can't continue to win B1G titles and annually compete for a natty with all that he's been gifted, then he's gonna be one of the biggest bust hires in recent college history.

Andy rules! Smart boy.

Michigan's D will be one of the best guaranteed...its their offense thats the question

Michigan defense is nasty good. Gonna be best in big 10

Agreed. Go Blue!

Will the offense be good enough to keep the defense off the field and rested? So they can be well rested for the 4th quarter, like they were last year.

Even as a Michigan fan I’m skeptical of this idea

Michigan is being undervalued, looking forward to taking the points against Texas. Like he said: they rotated the f out of both lines last year because of the blowouts. Couple that with their conservative offense that won’t make mistakes and just need a game manager QB, this team will be fly under the radar. I see myself making a lot of $ on them on the bigger games later in the season too.

Michigan goes 7/5 this season with losses to blow-hio, texas, oregon, washington, usc, and a suprising upset to a fresno state...shades of app state? Also, no big ten championship game and they miss out on the cfp. Oregon beats blow-hio in the big ten championship game. Texas wins the sec championship and beats georgia on the last play of the game. The crimson tide turns to burnt umber sludge and goes 6/6. But the stunner is that FSU wins the natty this year.

As long as they have great advance scouting...cough cough....and the players on the sideline keep relaying that info by pointing thier fingers up to the sky for a pass...for example..they will be fine!

Mi. defense, human being woodchippers!😊

SMASH

Hmm, new linebacker coach you “poached” from your rival and LB’s jumping into the portal like there’s no tomorrow. Could there be a connection.? 🤡 show.

Reload into going 8-4

Can’t stand Michigan anymore. Not since Harbaugh showed up. Now he’s gone. Good. And for you to sit there and talk about Michigan? Wow Mr. M. I think Bama has a way better chance than Michigan. We’ll see you won’t we. I’d bet on Alabama.
