Another Michigan fan here.
OMG!! Urban Meyer says he looks like Cam Newton!! He can throw a football 75 yards on his knees!! He is 6'5" and can do a standing backflip!!!
Sounds good if plans on joining a circus. LOL
Word is he worked on his skills during off season with former Michigan QB Devin Gardner. Gardner threw a lot of int's while running for his life behind a bad O-line.
I have bet Michigan -3.5. Why?
Michigan has a loaded RB room. The O-line has one returning starter, a former starter out ly with ACL, and three other large linemen, and a great O-line coach in Ed Warinner. Not worried here. Minn. has one returning nose guard on D-line and a returning secondary. I expect Michigan to have success with the run, especially on the edges. This should help Milton get his "sea legs".
There are RUMORS floating around that one or two O-linemen for the Gophers are out, just rumors right now.
What is factual is that Minny has several covid positives. P.J. is not saying who or how many. Starters?? Don't know.
This game is for The Little Brown Jug trophy. Last time Michigan left Minnesota without the jug was 1977, won 16 games in a row at Minn since that time.
Milton has a cannon arm, no doubt. In limited playing time he was forcing throws. Word is he has worked on touch throws. To be seen.
Michigan really doesn't have that tall WR deep threat that I like to see. Nico Collins fit that bill but he opted out. Banking on that run game.
Michigan currently reports no players out with covid.
