Michigan Weekend: Saturday Scrimmage Updates

Mgoblog had some message board posters attend Michigan's scrimmage on Saturday and came away impressed. Here are some of the highlights that I found valuable:

  • Taylor Lewan is making a lot of noise for a starting role at left tackle.
  • Devin Gardner is making a push not to red shirt
  • The QB race seems wide open, Denard has improved and Tate continues to be an accurate passer but not a dynamic runner.
  • The defense and tackling looks much improved.
  • Justin Turner has gotten too big for corner. Looking more like a safety or the spinner role.
  • Stephen Hopkins is really doing a good job at running back and mostly at the "big" running back role (example is a healthy Minor).

All and all good news. If you had to find bad news, it sounds like Tate has not progressed and Turner isn't looking like the shut down corner that we all hoped he was. Then again it's just the Spring and Spring Buzz doesn't get you anything on Saturday's in the Fall.
