- DL: I jumped all over the under after WMU, but that line is total poison.

- DL: The guys at MGoBlog basically said the opposite and that the preseason hype was a lie.

- OL/DL: good call out - they went tackle over early, but then down in the goal line series they put Sprague at LT and Frazier at RT, just because they wanted to run left.

- DL: Thank you Contown for this rational analysis amongst a sea of knee jerk reactions.

- DL: You can ***** on mgoblog all you want and I think a lot of their analysis is very silly but there’s not a single other fan site out there putting out work like them...

- DL: It was actually #45, but yes; they were wearing a temporary jersey with no name plate.

- Michigan quarterback Bryce Underwood is operating in a substantially different system under Jason Beck, limiting the direct value of last season's matchup film, while Venables highlighted his running, throwing and rhythmic execution on the opener's 75-yard first drive. - Michigan's rushing personnel combines strong, agile backs with good balance and a veteran offensive line in Venables' assessment, making the ground-game physicality a major part of Oklahoma's preparation. - Michigan's defensive line was identified by Venables as a veteran, high-quality unit central to the team's line-of-scrimmage identity, despite the narrow overall result against Western Michigan.

- DL/LB: Agreed -- too much talent at EDGE and I suspect he will drop down and out of the 2 deep by midseason .

- Injury: With Michigan Football expecting to get some guys back from injury, Lewis Powell is hoping to expand the edge rotation starting this weekend vs Oklahoma

- QB/DL: I haven't finished DL grades yet, so Brandt could still grade out better than he seemed to have played from my initial viewing in the stadium.

- QB/OL: Hard to spin that but I bet when you played you guys had super bad stretches of practice where nothing worked.

- Michigan insiders expect the defense to be very good but are still watching whether it has enough top-end talent to become elite, especially at defensive end. - Cameron Brandt reportedly stepped up against the run during camp, while John Henry Daley is healthy and experienced but must prove he can hold up against Big Ten tackles. - Michigan is emphasizing defensive tackle penetration, but sources questioned whether the interior has enough quickness even though Enow Etta and Trey Pierce have the size to handle blocks. - Linebacker was described as a camp surprise led by Chase Taylor, with Nathaniel Staehling viewed as a gritty transfer who can help the room. - Michigan expects Smith Snowden to play nickel with Zeke Berry and Jyaire Hill, while Rod Moore is healthy enough to play but still settling back toward his pre-injury form.
