Young believed Michigan was not a top 25 team because of Jim Harbaugh’s flirtation with the NFL, and also noted that the Wolverines lost a lot on the defensive end of the ball.
The AP Preseason Poll also released Monday, revealing the Wolverines as the No. 8 team in the country. It seems Young was just slightly off here.

Alabama changes coordinators every year, with that schedule Michigan is easily going to finish top 15 or better

Please just quit bro, you are a disgrace to the entire sport. You should legitimately be ashamed of yourself.

Dude they returned a lot. Especially compared to others in the list. You can’t justify it. Just stop. You look more stupid.

Some thoughts:
– Donovan Edwards would start for a great majority of teams.
– WR room, while young, is deep and talented.
– Y2 of Cade & JJ at QB could give DCs nightmares.
– Michigan is more likely to win natty than not be one of the best 25 teams. https://t.co/yOa6a5Y2KY
