- LB: Radar is showing the light rain stopping inside the next hour.

- UTEP coach Scotty Walden praises Michigan's defense across all three levels, citing Dom Nichols, Troy Bowles, Jyaire Hill and Chris Bracy.

This is an opposing coach's assessment, not an injury or lineup update. - The Michigan-UTEP preview cites a pregame forecast for rain, with heavy precipitation possible in Ann Arbor. It presents bad weather as a potential factor in the matchup, not confirmed game-time conditions or a stated change to either offense's plan.

- UTEP coach Scotty Walden identifies Michigan lineman Dom Nichols, Mike linebacker Troy Bowles, and defensive backs Jyaire Hill and Chris Bracy as strengths across all three defensive levels. He particularly praises Hill's man coverage and Bracy's physicality. This is an opposing coach's scouting assessment, not a change to Michigan's lineup.

- LB/DB: Because if they looked over and saw Mason Curtis in the box they would run at him all day

- LB/KICKER: Chase Taylor is “special.” Has some mental things scheme-wise to grow, but athletically he makes things look easy

- LB/KICKER: Chase Taylor is another one of the players who had to improve maturity-wise this offseason, AW says.

- Coaching: "we get a bunch of Doberman Pinschers up there that were rushing the quarterback today" Venables in the post-game presser.

- Injury: Would really like an evisceration; getting the second unit some live game reps on both offense and defense will be invaluable for this year and beyond.

- QB/LB: Not ruined at all , if anything it adds even more intrigue.

- LB: Kevin Jennings passing yards ladder, Will Wilson anytime TD, Toney 100 yards are all ones i like.

- RB/LB: we just put on tape that Bryce can and will beat you with his legs.

- LB: Alex Whittingham has only been in charge of Michigan Football’s linebacker room for a handful of months, but he’s already shaping the unit for the better

- Pick/market: Michigan Football will enter Big Ten play 3-0 if it takes care of business against UTEP on Saturday.

- LB: There was one play early that the play went out wide to the right and Bowles looked like freaking secretariat coming from behind 5 other Michigan players around the entire field to be first...

- OL/DL: Many (mob level, not a few) hate Ryan Day with a passion -- he plays conservative and cowardly in big games, the team then turtles and they lose those games too often.

- LB/DB: We have 3 number 1 CBs, that’s a rarity we need to take advantage of.

- Pick/market: Will have a separate 10 Thoughts post as usual coming later, but wanted to do some deep dive of the OL here first.

- Pick/market: Michigan needed a response.

- OL/DL: my quick takeaways before i’m sent the All-22: jay hill you are a god we have to clean up mistakes, especially penalties.
