Michigan 30, ECU 3
Shameful but it's an unstoppable trend. This will be the first season where the BIG has opted to sell out fans for pay per view revenue. The Peacock sham is part of a larger plan to shit-can ABC/ESPN and embrace NBC/Peacock while continuing it's relationship with Fox Sports. The broadcast team for the opener is Mike Tirico doing play-by-play, Chris Simms doing analysis, Lewis Johnson on the sidelines, all NBC Sports personalities.
The ECU Pirates come to town in Ann Arbor with too many missing parts to be competitive. The graduation of their QB at season end last year will hurt their downfield passing game which was their thing. ECU tallied an 8-5 season that netted the Pirates a bowl bid representing the American Athletic Conference in the 2022 TicketSmarter Birmingham Bowl. ECU trounced Coastal Carolina 53-20 on QB Holton Ahler's arm. He gone.
ECU is a 36 point dog. The O/U is 51. It's entirely possible but unlikely that M will get at least all 51 of those points. What's more likely is that M will simply run Corum and Edwards through a porous ECU D for 60 minutes in a restrained offensive output. Because M's offense is built around a passing game being key to keeping opponents from selling out against the run, McCarthy and M's receiver room will have opportunities to demonstrate that combination has developed a good long ball in the off-season. IOW, the M play-book will get exercised.
