Dear Jimmy,
Last week might be one of the best wins of your career at Michigan. After PSU scored a TD and 2 point conversion to tie the game, with an immediate strip sack and field goal. Your program was looking at an up hill battle and had a 25% chance to win the game. Cade put it All on the line and the Wolverines won the game. Well done coach!
This time of year traditionally has seemed like a Guns and Roses song, a cold "November Rain" and lets hope last week has made it a little bit sunnier. This week is another road game for your program as you take on a Maryland Terrapin program. I know we have talked about trap games in the past and this game qualifies. Maryland came out of the gate fast but has struggled since. It's also squeezed between Penn State and Ohio State, which could make a player look ahead or behind. So make sure the boys are focused this weekend, this can't be a trip up weekend.
Now lets talk Maryland, they have a QB with a familiar name in Taulia Tagovailoa. You might remember him from former roles at Alabama and the brother of a more famous Tagovailoa. He is the offense and everything goes through him. They do have a 5 star WR and an NFL TE but the rest of the offense is either struggling or out for the year with injuries. Maryland is going to spread you out and Tua 2 will run the ball. Your defense has struggled with a scrambling/running QB in the past, last week 1st half was an example and the Nebraska is another. Lock down Jarrett Rakim (that 5 star WR) and Tua 2 and Michigan should do well on defense. Let them hit the edges and this game will feel way too "trappy". Nobody wants to feel "trappy" on Saturday.
I would also like to see Michigan's offense be a little bit more then, "lets run the wheels off Haskins" this week. Maybe a little better passing game. It seems the WR group is a bit healthier and it would be nice if the offense could put up 40 points or more. I also would like to see Michael Barrett on the field on defense, so he can shadow Tua 2. I think our NFL DE's will be getting pressure on him in the pocket and T2 will look to run a ton. DJ Turner seems to be coming into his own and would love to see him on Rakim, with some help from Dax when needed.
Keep the team focused on this weeks goal of 1-0 and play Michigan Football on both sides of the ball.
Michigan 41 Maryland 17

Look up non-sequitur in the dictionary.
GoBlue what sign are taking with you..maybe I can spot you in the stadium...

Fire Don Brown...he embarrassed us...vs OSU
While this could be a tighter game than comfortable, I like this matchup right before the $uckeye game. Tua will be the best QB they face all year so they will get their weakness exposed and have time to address it. MD doesn't offer the rush game that said Cockeye will so that forces them into a one-dimensional offense. Our DEs will wreak havoc. I'm less worried about it being a trap game and more concerned with any additional injuries going in to $tinkeye week. Need our boys as healthy as possible. Would be awesome to get well ahead early and get some backups some action. Go Blue...beat Under Armour U.
I thought he was the definition of sequitur...
Guys please be happy we had a big win over Penn State University

I predict Sparty easily beats Ohio. Trounces then, in fact.
…oh, wait. Nevermind.
Esparty needed about 20 of those booth review plays today....They got completely embarrassed and should drop out of the top 20.
