Michigan Football, Team 138, 2017 Season.

Air Force doesn't beat you with defense anyways. They beat you by hogging the ball and turning it into an 8 or a 9-posession game, which greatly accentuates the costliness of one turnover or one drive-killing holding penalty. I expect the Air Force game to be a very unfun 31-20 type of affair similar to our 2012 contest.

Agree with this.

I'd have to go back and look but over the last two decades where M has hosted AF, I can't recall a single dominant win and it's because of exactly what Hanni mentions. Incredibly difficult to get 3 and outs with that offense. It forces your D to read and react. Exactly what Brown hates his players to do.

Ms aggressive D is a good match up for the AF offense.

Look like Brandon Peters won't be starting this year..

Ugh

[WM Wolverine]

Speight was really good last season, good enough to win every game but Iowa where I'd put more blame on the OL (couldn't run the ball either) than Wilton.

[MVPJ05]

Did I read that Michigan will wear road maize pant ?

[WingsFan]

Only if it is for the alternate uniform, maybe all maize (?) for one game. Otherwise all white for the road.

[WM Wolverine]

They are rumored to wear maize pants, for at least one game.

[WM Wolverine]

Air Force lost too much from last season, I could see them hanging around for a half but not much longer.

[WingsFan]

Could see the alternate uniforms vs FL as we are the road team.

[WM Wolverine]

Jordan Smith, Antonio Callaway, James Houston, Kadeem Telfort, Richerd Desir-Jones are being suspended for the Michigan game.

[WingsFan]

Callaway and Davis would start

[WingsFan]

I dont want to be overconfident, but we should be rolling into Happy Valley undefended.

Not even Florida game?

[WingsFan]

No, Speight need to prove he can play big boy football outside the sate of Michigan

Per Westgate Superbook, the line for Michigan/Florida has gone from Michigan (-2.5) to Michigan (-4.5) in less than 30 minutes after the initial release of the suspension news.

[Cody_Russell]

Jordan Smith, Antonio Callaway, James Houston, Kadeem Telfort, Richerd Desir-Jones are being suspended for the Michigan game.

Also Ventrell Miller and Keivonnis Davis.
Losing 7 scholarship players, that has to have some positive impact for M... add the safety Florida lost to injury, that's 8.
