Colorado Preview by Bill Connelly
I figured a good way to end the day would be some real football talk. If you aren't familar with Bill Connelly's preview series, he takes a different team everyday starting in February and previews all 128 teams using S+P projections, roster, coaching, and recruiting ranks. Today the lucky team was team was Colorado who happens to our biggest non-conference opponent (thanks again Dave!). I am posting this preview because many of you probably don't know much about Colorado.
The TL;DR talking points:
- Small on defense and thin depth wise (/insert Mr. Burns excellent gif)
- Offense lacks explosive plays
- Everything on offense hinges on the health of Sefo Liufau (recovering from Lisfranc)
- The OLine is not good (/laughs maniacally)
- Secondary is veteran group and may be legitimately good
- Michigan has a 93% chance of victory and is projected to win by 25

Does anyone know Jehu's status?
I was listening to a podcast on MLive out of boredom and apparrently he still isn't running...
But is the rest of his foot OK? Sorry, I had to.
BUT CAN HE PLAY?!
Is the amputation reflected in the roster weight? If so he must be absolutely jacked at 200 lbs. All weight gain is good, right?
I'm dying.
You should get that looked at.
False. Nothing can kill Chuck Norris.
The Black Knight
It's just a lower body booboo.
Heisman contender.
Even better when you boil them in Milk. Mmmmm Milk Steak.
I think a 1 man D-Line of Rashan Gary could expose that
He was pretty decent as a freshman, Pac 12 Honerable Mention, then suffered a nasty concussion and missed his entire sophomore year.
He never fully made it back and played some special teams then retired.
Taco Charton's going round the outside, round the outside.
Chris Wormley's going round the outside, round the outside.
Rashan Gary's going round the outside, round the outside.

I'm still pissed about the Hail Mary. Don't put the brakes on until we've reached 70 points.
I was a lot past 13. I didn't cry, but I didn't talk either, for pretty much 12 hours. That was about the time my wife finally started to understand just how much The Team means to me (and, boy, it just delights her!).
Oh, and fuck Colorado forever. That was a pretty good Michigan team that didn't seem to recover from that lightning bolt.
The whole house went silent for over an hour. Very somber. Fuck Colorado.

In Norman, OK and just about lost my beer! I was 31 at the time. The last time I felt that bad after a game was when I had season tickets and watched the Rocket run two KO returns for TDs.
throws his first interception inside our 20. But that will be the last INT and he will lead us to a 56-3 victory.
