Wolverine Wednesday: Loves the Wide Receivers

Michigan has had some great WR's in the past but it was usually one guy on the team at a time.  What makes Ohio State so difficult on offense is they have had multiple options that could go for 200 yards receiving and 3 TD's in any game.  Who do you double?  I'm guessing somewhere in Don Brown's mind, Ohio State is scoring another TD.

Michigan is loaded in the WR room this year with experienced and talented young guys.  Here is a quote from Jimmy: "Cornelius Johnson: Outstanding. AJ Henning: Outstanding. Andrel Anthony: Outstanding." The WR room "has the license and the ability to be the best we've ever had."

I agree with that take.

Now let's consider (additions to the above statement) Ronnie Bell looked like an All American against Western Michigan until he went down with an injury and will be back.  Roman Wilson made some huge catches last season.  Darrius Clemons could be the best freshman WR since Super Bowl Champion Mario Manningham. Mike Sainristil is playing both ways, Walker is a true freshman and Dixon is ready to see the field after a year in the program.

That is a crazy good WR room and I have one question for you:  Who you going double?

  • As suggested yesterday, ESPN is no longer in the Big Ten TV deal negotiation. 
  • Here is an honor that doesn't sound like an honor: Mazi Smith is #1 on Bruce Feldman's Freak List. 
  • Wake Forrest's QB Sam Hartman is out with an off field medical condition.  It was fun watching Wake last season light up the scoreboard in the ACC.
