Wouldn’t you feel better about your team if Shae Patterson left?

And then the defense. According to the article, “yeah, they sucked against the biggest opponents we faced but they might not get worse and could maybe even get better?”

Lastly, the schedule. I mean, they travel to Columbus. So the schedule is a plus.

So the offense loses the QB and 4/5 of the OL but will get better.

The defense which loses a handful of it's better players, is still woefully undersized on the interior, and has no depth is going to get better.

Yet, somehow, they have convinced themselves that 11-0 headed into Columbus is a reasonable outcome.

Their faculty for self delusion knows no bounds. No matter how many years I see it play out, it never fails to leave me amazed.

So for the past 2 years, all preseason they told us She was a Heisman contender.
Now it's "thank god that bum left, so we can replace him with 2 guys who haven't stood up and never seriously challenged for a starting job in the past 3 years..."

They legit claim Michigan will be 11-0 heading into Thanksgiving.
Is it a good thing to return most of a shitty Defense ?
The WR room is "loaded" ... not a single receiver has ever gone over 1000yds... not like they were highly recruited 5* guys or Rondale Moore either. By all appearances, it's a room of College journeymen that could be on anyone's roster.

Barely discuss the 4 starters lost on a poor Oline -- including the only good one. Nor the DLine issues.

A lot of fetishizing 2016, though. But they didn't realize Harbaugh' recruiting fell off a cliff since then.
If Schiano keeps killing the transfer portal, he could give them a lot of problems.

I like the part about beating Wisconsin too. "No more Jonathan Taylor" ... lol... if he didn't realize Wisconsin just reloads at that position... it's gonna be a rude awakening. It's as much OLine as it is RB anyway. They should have no problem muscling Michigan's interior DLine.

" . . .the Wolverines were surprising favorites, but got decimated in a way they never had to the Buckeyes."

"It cannot be understated about it being Michigan’s second-year with the same offensive coordinator . . ."

Wow. Delusional, sure, but that is also just some piss-poor writing. I assume Mr Hole is a TSUN grad.

A lot of "ifs" in there, most of them dependent upon Harbaugh developing players at a rate equal to or faster than most other college football coaches; which is something he hasn't exactly shown great competency in so far.......as he says - 11-0 coming into The Game is a possibility.....but so is 5-6.

You're not wrong, of course, but that offense also lost 2 of it's top 3 wide outs... if not 3 of 4, I can't even remember at this point.

The relative overall talent on the roster is also going backwards each year.... and.. yet... as you say with your last sentence... here we are....

No one trolls their own fan base quite like scUM reporters.....

In 2019, scUM lost to Wisconsin, Ohio State, and Alabama by a combined score of 126-57, or an average of 42-19. In the other loss (to Penn State), the scUM offense "came alive" to score 21 points in the "turning point" of their season.

Apparently Josh Gattis is scUM savior #233. Even though Gattis had a veteran offensive line, three NFL wide receivers, and a 5-star quarterback, his offense couldn't average 20 ppg against the only decent competition that it faced last year. But with most of that top talent now gone, the scUM offense will be better in 2020. Just wait, you'll see!!!

The scUM defense was borderline awful last year, with both talent and depth issues, but Don Brown to the rescue!!!

In the NFL Draft profile of former scUM LB Josh Uche, analyst Lance Zierlein stated: "Feasted on lambs with much of his sack production." That pretty much sums up the scUM program under Harbaugh: Feast on the lambs, get slaughtered by the wolves.

Don’t forget that thanks to mass attrition from the 2017 class and a 2018 class that flat out sucked, they’re relying on a bunch of middling guys in their second year in the program from the 2019 class to carry their team to glory.

On top of everything else, their talent is getting worse, not better.

But they’re new guys and Harbaugh is a fucking boss!

Alright... I had to break down and actually read this bullshit.... just to see what sort of smoke and mirrors are being sold.... A couple things stood out to me... First, was the memory that Weeb Eubanks, or whatever the fuck his name is, announcing his return for his senior season... as if he was a viable early entrant... Let's set the scene:

This is the beginning of the paragraph preceding the one in which the author will discuss the TE position...

The biggest question is the offensive line, which has to replace four starters from a year ago.
Click to expand...
OK. So, then, what of the TE Position?
Tight end is the only position that isn’t quite as formidable
Click to expand...
Oh. I see.

Alright.. backing up... Let's talk about skill positions..

Beyond that, the skill positions are beyond loaded.
The running backs room is so crowded with playmakers, it’s difficult to discern just who will be the leader of the group.
Click to expand...
Beyond loaded? :slappy: Umm.. OK. Crowded with playmakers, you say? Well, let's take a look then...

Zach Charbonnet - 149-726 (4.9) .. who could forget his 33 carry, 100 yard (3.0) performance against Army? Best game was probably Illinois 18-116 (6.4) and a TD, though he did go for 84 yards on 13 carries against Bama (6.5) but with no scores. Against Wisconsin he had 2 carries for 6 yards. Against Ohio State he had 4 for 7 ... he was an empty 7 for 30 against Sparty
Hassan Haskins 121-622 (5.1) This former LB had his best game against ND 20-149 (7.5) with no scores, followed up by his performance against Illinois.. (Hey, wait.. did Illinois' run defense suck in 2019 or something? (hint: 104th ranked)) 12-125 (10.4) 1 score. Wisconsin? 1 carry, 3 yards lost. Sparty? 6 for 13 and a touch. To his credit, he did play well against Ohio State 12-78 (6.5) and a score.
Chris Evans DNP in 2019 2018 - 81-423 (5.2) This guy has 3 100 yard games in his career, and none since the 9th game of his sophomore season against 2017 Minnesota. After a year off, and behind a "questionable" O line... I'm sure he's tanned rested and ready.
Christian Tuner 44-171 (3.9) Talk about a playmaker! This guy went for 49 yards on 11 carries against MTSU.... and... 48 yards on 11 carries with a score against Rutgers. I suspect he may have been scUM's leading rusher in the Wisconsin game, considering what I've already wrote.. he ran 6 times for 17 yards (2.8). But, really.. where this playmaker shined was in the Illinois and Maryland games where he ran for -4 yards and -6 respectively. Hey.. didn't Illinois suck against the run in 2019? (Hint: Yes. Yes they did).
Blake Corum Incoming Freshman Composite 12 RB 128th overall. Early enrollee... who, if memory serves couldn't wait to work out with Bonaduce, according to Bonaduce's "father"

moving on...
Wideout is just as loaded
Click to expand...
Just LOADED, you say? Well, by all means, let's take a look at how fuckin loaded they are...

Nico Collins - 37 catches for 729 and 7 scores. Would you be surprised to learn that 23% of Collins' yardage was gained in one game? Well, that's the case.. as he had 6 grabs for 165 yards and 3 scores against Indiana. His next best game was against Ped, where he also had 6 catches for and empty 89 yards. BUt.. you know.. he was a Bama recruit, so he's probably really good.
Ronnie Bell ("had a breakout season last year") 48 Receptions for 758 yards and a score. Not bad for a former Missouri State basketball commit. If you're curious how Ohio State's break out WR did last years, it's Chris Olave.. 48 Receptions for 840 yards and 12 scores.
Giles Jackson 9 Rec for 142 and a TD. He's never gained more than 54 yards in a game as a WR (4 for 54 against Bama). He had an additional 50 yards on a single reception against Indiana. He was primarily used on jet sweeps where he had 10 carries for 69 yards and a score (which came against Ohio State, as you may recall)
Mike Sainristil - Who? Played in 6 games... compiled 8 catches for 145 and a score (Notre Dame where he had 3 receptions for 73 yards to go along with it... his best game as a collegian)
Cornelius Johnson - Who? 4 catches for 61 yards. Looks like he played 3 games and will be a rFr in 2020.
A.J. Henning - Incoming Frosh Composite 18 WR and 101 overall
Roman Wilson - Incoming Frosh Composite 57 WR 348 overall

In fairness, Collins and Bell aren't a bad 1 2 punch. But, after those two.. and really, even with them, I'm not exactly wowed here. I mean, they had all those guys and Black and DPJ last year ... Not sure they get better losing those two straight up for any 2 of the other 4 clowns on this list. Maybe by "loaded" the author was talking about being drunk or something, I don't know.
