Michigan Tuesday: Some Surprises for Starters and Back ups

The Bryce news wasn't a surprise when it was released early by CBS on Sunday.  Some of the other things that Sherrone said was.   For example, it seems Brady Norton the new transfer from Cal-Poly has been playing really well the last couple of weeks of camp and took over the right guard position beating out Efobi. 


Your Offensive Line is: Link, EL-Hadi Crippen, Norton, and Sprague. I think inserting Brady is great for depth and hopefully a very good offensive line. 

The other two surprises are: back-up QB is Jadyn "don't call me Daniels" Davis and legacy WR Channing Goodwin is the #3 WR.

Let's talk QB first: Davis's throwing motion looks "not great".  Which means Mikey Keene is heading towards the Jack Tuttle Award this year.  Garcia is still the break glass if there is an emergency and hasn't been here long enough to learn the offense.   This is a concern.  

My question on Goodwin is, where is Freddie Moore? O'Leary? Bell? Marsh? and Browder?  Let's hope they all are playing well and Goodwin just earned the start.  

On a side note: True Freshman Jasper Parker might be getting #3 RB snaps over the likes of Micah Ka’apana and that guy that transferred from Princeton. 

  • Fun Trivia from Augusta J:  Name the 4 Michigan true freshmen quarterbacks that started their first game? (including Bryce)
  • Dave Portnoy has been banned from Ohio Stadium as he starts his Fox career.  OSU please continue this type of activity as its funny and so soft.  Update: The Big Ten says this was Fox decision not Ohio State's.
  • Speaking of Fox, it seems they are negotiating with YouTube TV and the Texas - OSU game is at risk.  I have YouTube TV.  Yikes!
  • Michigan Football is now doing a Michigan Monday on Twitter.  Should I sue them for stealing my IP? 😀
  • Answers to the above trivia question: Bryce, Rick Leach, Chad Henne, and of course Tate Forcier.

well I'm back from Dubai, oh wait that's the other guy. Anyone else have some concerns with the OL? Last year the OL struggled, especially early and not sure this year's version is much of an improvement. Coming from Cal-Poly Brady Norton was a little lite in the caboose for B1G football. now maybe he put on some weight in the off season, we'll see. Crippen struggled at C and El-Hadi had his struggles too. A weak IOL isn't great for a true freshman QB

I hit the trivia answer, what's the prize? Portnoy will probably sneak in, take pics, and rub it in their noses. Since when do the networks dictate who attends? Outside of obvious high risk troubled individuals that is...
