"So this is a Harvard bar? I thought there'd be equations on the wall and shit." - Good Will Hunting
I. Case History/Opening Statement
A. Case History
Hey guys, remember Coach Rodriguez? The Coach Rod who made a very impressive showing on OTE, wearing shorts? Well 2010 was everything critics of Coach Rod could ever have wanted to see. An explosive offense, Top 10 nationally in many categories...derailed thanks to injuries and overuse of Rocket Robinson. A wounded and out of place defense...trying to play a scheme that was just the worst.damn.thing.I.have.ever.seen. So let's answer some fun questions:
Who's the new coach? Brady Hoke
Who's the new defensive coach? Greg Mattison.
What kind of offense will Michigan be running? Some kind of pro-form, with Robinson under center much more than last year. Similar blocking schemes (the O-Line will be a strength and have mentioned they are comfortable in the new offense), except the coaches would like the offense to stay on the field much longer...
What does the UM fanbase think? Tired of defensive/special teams/player development/PR ineptitude, Michigan turned (or was forced to turn) to Hoke, who has impressed everyone with his recruitment of Midwest-located defensive players and his good ol' football coach attitude. Let's put it this way - Michigan football, for years and years and years, was built on superior athletes who played tough and smart. Were Michigan teams too conservative sometimes? Yes, but that's better than being flashy and undersized and injury-prone like 2010.
B. Opening Statement
Ladies and Gentlemen of the Jury, Michigan is returning to its roots. The *Maize and Blue have been stockpiling defensive recruits, the offense will pound downhill, and the 4-3 formation that led the nation in run defense in 2005 returns. Unfortunately, times done changed. All things that used to make Michigan Michigan are pretty much no longer advantages. Stable coaching staffs? Look at Iowa, look at "stoic" Dantonio. Big tough defenses? Nebraska, Ohio State...So there is much work to be done.
II. Discovery
A. What We Can Learn From Pop Culture
Michigan in 2010
Offense: B+...broke down late in the season, over utilized Denard, but still put up huge numbers
Defense: F-...out of position, soft, injured, bad schemes, linebackers who couldn't tackle
Special Teams: WE CAN"T MAKE FIELD GOALS!!!$$@$R@
Michigan in 2011
"Let us not forget" ...
...that Denard Robinson is still arguably the most dangerous player in the B1G. Being in a pro-form doesn't mute him.
...that all the Michigan defenders are experienced and put on substantial amounts of weight. Mike Martin should be All-B1G and Kenny Demens is ready to be the next Jarrett Irons/Sam Sword (i.e. good sized solid as shit Michigan linebacker).
...that Greg Mattison's 4-3 cannot, just cannot be worse than whatever Greg Robinson was trying to do. The 3-3-5 linemen were being blown off the ball and moved easily in 2010. At least this year we'll have four people on the line on every snap.
...that the schedule isn't exactly manageable. 4 ranked opponents, Iowa and NW away, an early must-win against SDSU. It ain't cake.
IV. Verdict
A. The Staff Calls the Games
Woa baby. The OTE staff is all over the place. 9-3...to 5-7...for a final prediction of 7-5 (4-4).
Basically everyone expects losses to Iowa, ND, and Nebraska. The surprise? Half of our writers see a win over the Buckeyes. Is Michigan the Big Ten's wildest card? Probably. No one quite believes in that defense, but hey, it is Michigan after all.
Bama H: 9-3 (6-2) losses to ND, Nebby, tOSU
Ted: 5-7 (3-5) Losses to Illinois, MSU, Iowa, Nebraska, OSU
Jon: 7-5 (4-4) losses to ND, MSU, Iowa, Illinois, and Nebraska
Chadnudj: 5-7 (2-6): losses to ND, NW, MSU, Purdue, Iowa, Nebraska, and OSU
MSULax: 5-7 (2-6) losses to MSU, Iowa, Ill, NU-L, NU, OSU, ND
Ricardo: 9-3 (5-3) losses to @Michigan State, @Iowa, Nebraska
Paterno: 6-6 (3-5) losses to ND, NW, Iowa, Illinois, Nebraska, OSU
Kennard H: 5-7 (3-5) losses to ND, SDSU, @NW, @MSU, @Iowa, @ILL, NEB
Hil Lee: 8-4 (4-4 conf) losses to NW, MSU, Iowa, Nebraska
Graham: 6-6 (3-5) losses to ND, NW, MSU, Iowa, Neb, OSU
JDMill: 8-4 (5-3) losses to ND, Iowa, Neb, OhioSt

DR might not be muted in the pro set offense
but it does seem like the qunitessenntial ‘square peg, round hole’. DR is still a dynamic QB, though, and if he can get comfortable being a pass first guy when he drops back in the pocket, he’ll do well.
If he can’t, UM’s offense will get crushed against quality defenses, much like their Spread did last year.
This is like O. Henry and Alanis Morrisette had a baby and named it "this exact situation"--Sterling Archer
The other necessity
is a reliable runner in the backfield NOT named Robinson. So far, the staff isn’t naming anyone which I think is either really good or really bad. The offense needs another threat (not Threet) back there to keep defenses honest.
I'm gonna say
8-4…. They return 20 starters… That’s huge in college football. Losses to NW, Nebraska, PSU, and OSU.
by TheHumbleBuckeye on Aug 24, 2011 7:27 AM CDT reply actions
8-4
and I’ll be ecstatic. And I can handle losses to those teams (minus NW) as long as they’re SOMEwhat competitive, as in no longer foregone conclusions that they’ve been over the last three years. Yeeeeesh….
returning a lot of starters for a team with a bad season isn't exactly comforting though
Or shouldn’t be.

This is my thought actually
However, I remember thinking we’d be excellent post Billy C under the same premise. Then we went 9-4. So who knows, right? Hoke/Mattison seems like the right equation, but talent will be the key. So long as the Huskers beat them, I’m fine with them doing whatever it is they do (I just don’t see it happening).

Hoke's ability to be fat and arrogant shouldn't mask his inability to win college football games as a head coach.
He was a mediocre hire at the time, and his failure to differentiate between the Buckeyes and the Bobcats in his sweaty, hot-aired filled rants does nothing to dispel that notion.

I love that the Ohio thing bothers Buckeye fans
I’m not wild about Hoke’s style and not convinced that he’ll bring Michigan back, but the fact that he gets under OSU fans’ skin makes me so happy.
I think I still have a green and white “Ohio: The State University” t-shirt somewhere. Gotta find that.
Does it make "us" mad?
Not me. I just think it shows his ignorance.

Fair enough
Willful ignorance…maybe more like willful disdain. It was “ground breaking” when Woody coined the term “That school up North” and everyone thought it was funny, but we didn’t once think he simply forgot the name.
It is a ploy, I agree with you there, but more of one for internal reasons…to get the players to focus on The Game…an art that was lost in the previous administration. It isn’t just like every other game, like RRod was an advocate of.

It doesn't bother me
It’s amateurish and unoriginal, because it’s just a take off of when Woody coined ‘that school up north’.
It makes him come off as an overgrown frat boy, which for me, tends to detract from the fact that he really seems to know what the hell he’s doing.
If you want to bother me, beat Ohio State.

Hey Ted
Michigan doesn’t play PSU this year, but thanks for the win anyway…I’m certain we would take Michigan behind the woodshed again this year.
"It just might be that the purpose of your life is to serve as a warning to others." Despair.com
Should've read OSU
This is like O. Henry and Alanis Morrisette had a baby and named it "this exact situation"--Sterling Archer
I'm really interested to see how Borges utilizes Denard
It doesn’t seem like the greatest fit on the surface, but if Denard can make another leap forward in his passing ability and Borges gets creative there is potential there.
The other key to me is the health of 3 players on defense. Any injuries to Mike Martin, Ryan Van Bergen, or Kenny Demens would be devastating. There is little depth on the D-line and Demens is the only proven LB. I see a 7-5 finish, but I wouldn’t be surprised with a 9-3 or 5-7.
On the surface
of the DRob/Borges fit, I’ll agree with you. But Borges had stints at UCLA and Auburn…I’m thinking somewhere along the way he’s had players with similar skill sets as DRob.
He actually hasn't
From Mgoblog;
Michigan’s new offensive coordinator has no experience working with a running quarterback
It doesn’t mean he can’t be successful with Denard, but he hasn’t worked with a running QB before.
What the hell Ted!
(You too Jon.)
I don’t care if it looks like we’re going to get steam-rolled — and believe me there is no way Fickell lets that happen on his watch. The Buckeyes are ALWAYS your pick over those shitheads up north. Man up for pete’s sake.

I completely agree with the staff
nothing from 5-7 to 9-3 would be the least bit surprising, and nothing from “not a bowl team” to “Legends Division Champ” follows.
I’ve been saying for a while that I think the winner of the Michigan / MSU game will represent the division in Indy, and Michigan has a competent enough team and manageable enough schedule to do it. Think about it: a win over MSU, doesn’t play Wisconsin or Penn State, gets Nebraska and Ohio State at home. In a division that could very easily be a total bloodbath, an 6-2ish Michigan team could very easily be the champ.
I also realize that there are about 7 or 8 games on this schedule that are highly losable for a team that returns an entire, abysmal defense, replaced a head coach, and has a QB that can light up the world against the MAC but looks stunningly mediocre against defenses with a pulse. It will be entertaining to watch from a distance.
"I play for Penn State, we don't celebrate after TDs." - Penn State's Derek Moye, on being asked to act like he's celebrating a TD during a BTN shoot.
Yes, they get OSU and Nebraska at home
but they’ll still be bringing their defenses. Michigan’s spread, in which DR was devastating, quite frankly was terrible against any defenses with a pulse. Put him in an uncomfortable offense (for him), no proven RB to carry the load, and I think those defenses will shut down Michigan.
I don’t say that to be a homer, because I think once UM gets comfortable in that offense (which they may be by the OSU game), they’ll be back at or near the top. I just hink this year is going to be painful. Not 3-9 painful, but I don’t see Michigan as a top tier team this year.
This year.
This is like O. Henry and Alanis Morrisette had a baby and named it "this exact situation"--Sterling Archer
It's a projection largely based on what I expect from that division
which is that 3 or 4 teams will enter Thanksgiving weekend 5-2 / 4-3 with a mathematical shot at heading to Indy. If, and it is a fairly big if, Michigan can beat MSU, Michigan could / should be one of those teams. Going 3-2 between Nebraska, OSU, Northwestern, Illinois and Iowa in some fashion isn’t a stretch.
Then again, neither is losing to MSU by 20 and going 1-4ish in those games.
One thing to like about Michigan’s schedule is not just the avoidance of PSU and Wisconsin (both of which should have very good to great defenses) or getting Nebraska and Ohio State at home, but that outside of MSU, they don’t play a single team that Phil Steele’s Power Plays computer projects will have a superior ppg differential until they play Nebraska on Nov. 19. The offense will have plenty of wiggle room to get comfortable, so to speak.
I don’t think this Michigan team will be great or that Denard Robinson is half the QB that he is a gimmick, but I do think they are set up nicely for a surprisingly good year.
"I play for Penn State, we don't celebrate after TDs." - Penn State's Derek Moye, on being asked to act like he's celebrating a TD during a BTN shoot.
I agree with Ted
although it pains me to admit it. Not the “he’s right about Michigan” part, but moreso the “I hate admitting he’s right” part.
UM has too many offensive questions to be answered, in a positive manner, for Michigan to be considered a threat to win the B1G, let alone contend for a spot in a BCS game. That, I think, is at least two years away.
DRob’s comfort in the new offense, the reliable RB, the extent to which the WR corps is being asked to change….there’s talent there, no doubt, but I still have lots of things I’d like to see before feeling comfortable about UMs chances in a game hosting Neb or OSU.
by GoWings2008 on Aug 24, 2011 11:25 AM CDT up reply actions
It's good that Michigan has a coach who is bringing back a system that actually works in the B1G
The problem is that his skill position players aren’t the right fit for the system. In due time I’m sure Michigan will be back to their old selves but I’m expecting another mediocre year. Wait, I need to rephrase that the way Brady Hoke would say it:
Ya know, we’re Michigan…so this 7-6 end product is just unacceptable by Michigan standards. Did I mention we’re Michigan? I’m hungry. Someone run to Mickey D’s and get me a McGangbang. Michigan.

The other
part about UM beating OSU is not just the questions from Michigan’s standpoint that need to be answered, but the impact that the new head coach and loss of TP and the whole bow wave that washed over Columbus recently. Some think it’ll be a speed bump, some think it’ll be a mountain to climb…again, maybe 5-6 games into the season we’ll have a better idea.

One important thing to consider when talking about Michigan's defense
is that every single player (that’s going to be in the two-deep) was recruited to play in a traditional 4-3 scheme. I don’t know what happened, I don’t want to know, but the Xanax 3-3-5 that’s supposed to be a confusing, attacking defense that was forced upon a mediocre defensive coordinator was the perfect recipe for a terrible defense. The 3-3-5 could work in the Big Ten — in theory anyways — with mammoth defensive linemen, bigger linebackers and huge safeties. Michigan had none of those, plus a dearth of talent, size, and experience in an ill-fitting defense was a bad, bad situation. Now, they’re in a better scheme, better coaching (that isn’t the panacea that Michigan fans are touting) are bigger across the board, and still don’t have upper-level talent. The fact that Troy Woolfolk — our second-best defensive player — wasn’t mentioned in the preview is an utter joke. Even if he isn’t fully recovered, he’ll be our best defensive back easily, and one we didn’t have last year at that.
The defense will be vastly improved, but nowhere near an upper-tier B1G defense. Middle of the pack? Maybe.

Easily.
Kovacs is decent — his limitations are obvious, and on a better defense they’d be masked a lot better, but he’s a solid Big Ten starter. Courtney Avery was tiny last year but he’s bulked up and could be a decent corner. Woolfolk has the other spot locked down: he’s the only player on the defense (other than maybe Cam Gordon at LB) that has upper-level Big Ten speed. The other corners are not very good: JT Floyd, Terrance Talbott, and Greg Brown aren’t able to play at a Big Ten level, although Blake Countess was our best recruit at CB. At free safety, yikes.

So Russell Wilson is talking to Denard Robinson
and Denard asks, “Why does Wisconsin wear red shirts like half the other teams in the B1G?”
Russell answers, “So that when we get injured and get blood on our shirts, the fans and our teammates won’t see that we’re injured.”
Russell thinks for a second and then asks, “Now why do you wear yellow pants?”
