Summary

- Bryce Underwood reportedly made a major fall-camp jump in decision-making, progression work, footwork, pocket presence and command of Jason Beck's offense; Western Michigan is the first live test of whether that practice improvement carries over. - Michigan's offensive line and nearly every other position battle are described as settled, although the staff will withhold the public depth chart until the opener. - Andrew Marsh and JJ Buchanan have separated as the top two receivers within a seven-man rotation. The staff expects a more explosive passing game if Jordan Marshall, Savion Hiter and Bryson Kuzdzal establish the run. - Michigan expects to use nickel more than its base 4-3, drawing from a six-linebacker rotation led by improved Chase Taylor, Troy Bowles and North Dakota State transfer Nathaniel Staehling. Safety Rod Moore is currently healthy and expected to be a major factor.
