the one thing on offense I felt good about in the Fresno St. game. Mullings is the clear #1 RB on Michigan, gives me Haskins/De'Veon Smith vibes. We need to find a better way to get Edwards involved, and if you can't figure out how to get him in the running game THROW to him. Feels a lot like Michigan not knowing how to properly use Chris Evans.

I was saying before the season that I thought you guys had something with Mullings. It was a limited sample size last year but he definitely has the looks of an actual RB1. I wouldn't be shocked if they moved Edwards to some sort of slot/wing position at some point soon, maybe even Saturday. If you can't get him into space you're just wasting a play.

I just hope we can utilize him a lot better than we did with Chris Evans.

I really liked what Mullings showed last year.

Problem for Mullings too is that the QB & WR play is really going to make it harder on the RB

Warren is a MAC level QB at best and Orji is a very poor mans version of Devin Gardner. Nobody is fearing either of those guys.

I can't see them going the whole season trotting those 2 out, you'd think they have to throw the freshman in at some point and see if he can provide any spark.

Thankfully Chris has bounced back and made a nice career as Captain America though.

But also yes, I like Mullings. It's too bad he was buried behind Corum and Edwards through his college career.

Only thing I can think is Moore learned enough from week 1 that his offensive gameplan isn't going to work against actual teams and changes things up. Edwards needs to make the switch to WR or something, and it wouldn't surprise me if Tuttle gets some PT soon. Warren is just bad, and Orji is no more than an athlete playing QB - maybe he moves to WR? The problem with Davis that you have to worry about is if he goes out and gets demolished and then you have another situation like UCLA with Dante Moore last year where he ends up transferring, and then michigan is truly fucked.

I can't imagine Davis will see any reps this year. I wasn't blown away by Warren, but I thought he played OK and he was hurt by some pretty bad drops from the receivers. I like Tyler Morris but he fucked up on a potential TD pass, not sure why he slowed down. I'm not expecting Warren to be McCarthy, but if he can be 2021 McNamara with a little more mobility that isn't a bad scenario IMO. I was wondering why Orji wasn't throwing more until he threw that one pass attempt into the ground.... lol. I feel like Denegal was talked up a bit in the past and he's been a total nonfactor in the QB competition. Tuttle just can't be relied on to stay healthy.

It's hard to tell whether Michigan was trying to hide anything on tape for the Texas game, but there were some things that made it feel like Michigan wasn't taking it too seriously (see the constant rotations on defense). I don't think Michigan can rotate players as much as they did last year, especially in the secondary. It was pretty puzzling seeing Pollard come out when the FSU game was competitive and it showed immediately. I think Michigan has to lean on their starting players more, particularly in the DL and secondary... but I think those units should be very good. I was pretty impressed with Barham, I could see this LB unit being better than the last couple of years (I never really understood the love for Colson, feel like he struggled in coverage and fucked up for every one good play he made). This Texas game is going to tell us a lot of where Michigan's offense stands.

I could see this being a 2017 kinda season. Just gotta hope the QB play can even be average (say passer rating around 135-145), and not the equivalent of John O'Korn. I hate blaming one player for losses, but it's hard to argue against the notion he may have cost us the MSU and OSU games in 2017. I thought they did a brilliant job scheming open receivers against OSU that year, but O'Korn couldn't hit any of them. Missing a wide open Chris Evans on that 4th down was one of the most baffling things I've ever watched.
