Michigan . . . how many wins this season?

[papersun87]

9/5 Western Michigan L

9/12 Notre Dame L???

9/19 Eastern Michigan W

9/26 Indiana W

10/3 @ Michigan State L

10/10 @ Iowa L

10/17 Delaware State W

10/24 Penn State L

10/31 @ Illinois L

11/7 Purdue W???

11/14 @ Wisconsin L

11/21 Ohio State L

3-9, 4-8, or 5-7? My gut tells me they lose against Purdue and Notre Dame, but they get those two at home, so maybe not. Could Rich Rodriguez survive a sub-.500 season?

I actually hope Mee-chicken beats Notre Crap. The sports writers are giving ND a lot of love this year. I'd like to see Front-Butt fail miserably and ND fall into the depths for Crap-titude forever and ever.

So I'm going to say 8-4. Actually could be worse than that though. I really like Rich Rod so I hope he does well there. We shall see though.

You really think Mich can win @ Iowa with the ground game the Hawkeyes have? I can't say I agree, considering Purdue ran for 256yards against them last year. Plus their D lost 6 starters from last season, 3 of which where on the D line.

I think they end up finishing around 5-7, only because some team like Illinois or WMich will inevitabily choke in the big house.

If Meechicken doesn’t win more than 5 games (likely) then Rich Rod better get asbestos seat cushions. He’ll be on the hot seat for sure.

They should win 5 games, and at the very least 3. I'm not sure if they'll be bowl eligible, but they'll need some help.

6-6

 

[HuskerJen]

I think Michigan has a shot at 6-6.

Last year the QB position was Michigan's achilles heel because Steven Threet was horrible. He was clearly the type of QB meant for Lloyd Carr's offensive system.

HCRR appears to have found a great QB which fits his system, 4 :star Devin Gardner, Michigan fans better hope this kid can stay healthy because I sincerely doubt there's a capable back-up.

Defensively, Michigan wasn't terrible they were just the victims of a horrible offense that couldn't sustain a drive or score points on a regular basis.

 

[zoogs]

Gardner is not there right now.

It's Tate Forcier.

Didn't the Hawkeyes ground game graduate? <_<

Damn. Double Post.

Greene graduated, but the oline for Iowa will be very good.

Just watch and see the year Jewel Hampton has.

What happened to Gardner? Did he not qualify academically? Did he go to a juco? Sign somewhere else and if so with whom?
