Michigan is having real problems in there fall camp and has inexperienced and mismatched personel on Offense for there scheme. Defensively they return some starters but are switching to a brand new system. Ron English who was awesome there for years is no longer the D coordinator. To much to over come so early for the Wolverines.

FYI - Utah hosts TCU on a Thursday night game on Nov. 6, not on Nov. 8 as reported in the article.

We need a big win at the Big House.

Go Utes.

A Michigan defense that returns seven starters with depth and speed and one of the best defensive fronts in the country. Offense is inexperienced but speed to burn. This Michigan team is in such good shape the Utes will have their tongues hanging out by halftime. RichRod will have this bunch of Wolverines ready to go with 110,000 maize and blue crazies in the stands. Ron English?? I bought his bus ticket out of town.

the Michigan offense. Yes, they do not have the athletes for the offense RR ran at West Virginia, but he's no one trick pony. He was the OC at Clemson and various other schools before taking over at WVU. He knows how to run a conventional offense, and knows the pressure he is under to perform at Michigan. My bet is that Utah will see a more traditional looking type offense, rather than the running spread that was run at WVU. And Michigan does have the athletes for that.

I hate the utes, but you're not very aware of your team if you think Michigan will be that tough. Appalachian state and Oregon both run your offense, both beat a better michigan team last year.

I hate Utah, but they should win this game by a couple of touchdowns at least.

I hope they do, Nov. 22 will be so much sweeter....
3 in a row baby!

Coach Kyle Whittingham says his Utes have a goal each year of winning the conference championship, something they haven't done since 2004.
