Tuesday Question - 3 Big Spring Storylines

Q: What are the three most important storylines this spring?

A: 1) Michigan's offense. There's much speculation and plenty of concern from the Maize and Blue types about the potential of a lousy season considering all the losses on offense. Chad Henne, Mike Hart, Jake Long, Mario Manningham, Adrian Arrington, Ryan Mallett and Adam Kraus; you simply can't lose that much top-shelf talent and get better. The team can't hope for Terrelle Pryor to come in and be the immediate savior, and even if he does got to Ann Arbor and not Columbus, he still likely won't be ready to roll without spring ball to work. Oh yeah, and there are huge losses on defense, too. Even so, and this is the fact everyone seems to gloss over, Michigan still has more talented players from top to bottom than Rich Rodriguez ever had at West Virginia. This is Michigan, and it's supposed to be in the national title hunt every year no matter what, but I have this sinking early March feeling that a 1-4 start if very, very likely with losses to Utah, at Notre Dame (yes, at Notre Dame ... the D will be good), Wisconsin and Illinois.

Our defense will have to carry us through a couple of games while the O adjusts. Laugh if you will, but we do return our starting DL, a LB and both corners from a unit ranked #23 in scoring defense. I'm not saying it will be as good as OSU's, but I have faith in this defense

And a defense ranked 58th against the rush.

Maybe, but if you can't score, you can't win. I may be wrong, but I really think the offense is going to struggle mightily early on. The D may be good, but it's not likely to be game breaking good like the '06 D was before melting down late in the season.

You could be right. It is nice that Carlos Brown, Brandon Minor and Kevin Grady all have experience though. That's one position I'm not worried about. Mathews could be a solid #1. Not spectacular, but solid.

yeah its pretty common sense snipe that if an offense has zero playing time together that the chances of them being lights out isn't great. How's Kevin Grady looking/doing?

From what I hear, Grady is looking pretty good this off-season, and Carlos Brown is getting better and better.

Hey if anything this offense will be fast as shit soon enough with guys like McGuffie, Brown, Robinson, Stonum etc...
