Michigan's offense is otherwise healthy for Western Michigan, but Ace Hamilton is out for the season and Andrew Babalola is expected to miss the opener after a minor setback.

Channing Goodwin reclaimed the WR3 role after missing spring, although Michigan expects five receivers beyond Andrew Marsh and JJ Buchanan to rotate according to personnel package.

Evan Link, Nathan Efobi and Brady Norton will receive roughly similar Week 1 snaps at the two guard spots because the competition has not produced meaningful separation.

True freshman Savion Hiter is considered a package starter at running back and will enter whenever Michigan calls the personnel groups built around him.

Freshman Tommy Carr won the QB2 job over Brayden Fowler-Nicolosi through faster mastery of the offense and added scramble value, but live game performance remains his principal unknown.
