Countdown to Kickoff - Day 6
You guys you guys, it's only 6 days until real football starts!

Morris with a nice 25-yard strike to Jake Butt over the middle, then a pick 6 right into the arms of Ramon Taylor. #learning curve
August 25th, 2013 at 7:38 AM ^
Some nice throws by Gardner on there, the last one was especially nice. Morris, wow, what an arm. I think he'll do well with a RS year and be a real contributor when he plays. Needs a little more experience.
And Lewan...trying to video bomb Schofield's interview. Classic. The camera man bit off on the fake, too.
August 25th, 2013 at 7:48 AM ^
Wow - Gardner looks so effortless throwing the ball. His mechanics appear to have improved significantly.
August 25th, 2013 at 7:59 AM ^
...because I thought he and Chesson we're going to push us over the top. That said, Chesson has made some very nice catches this fall. Doesn't mean he hasn't had a million drops that they didn't show, but the potential is certainly there.
August 25th, 2013 at 8:00 AM ^
Due to Bellomy's injury, it seems very unlikely that Morris will get a RS this year (coaches will throw him in for mop up duty to get him experience in case Gardner gets hurt). That said, is there a possibility that Bellomy comes back from injury next year, wins the back-up job, and Morris takes his RS season next year (assuming Gardner comes back and is the starter again)? I don't think I have ever heard of that happening outside of an injury, but it might be a more realistic option than RSing this year.
August 25th, 2013 at 8:21 AM ^
Lol no. The only way Morris redshirts is if he injures himself for the better part of a season between now and 2016
August 25th, 2013 at 9:29 AM ^
It's possible.
August 25th, 2013 at 8:36 AM ^
Anybody with an iPhone unable to watch this or the link?
August 25th, 2013 at 8:43 AM ^
From mgovideo.com I could watch it but I had to download some app called Telly.
August 25th, 2013 at 12:35 PM ^
Sorry about that. I didn't know Telly embeds required an app. Does this work for people?
August 25th, 2013 at 9:03 AM ^
Its strange as I've never had to download this Telly app to watch videos from this site before. All of a sudden now its a requirement.
August 25th, 2013 at 9:59 AM ^
He said he was moving them to Telly. I'm going to guess that is the reason.
On another note - if Wolverines Dominate will bear with me:

Interesting note: Prescott Burgess is an assistant at Da'Shawn Hand's high school under the new coach.

Saying the words "redshirt" and "Morris" now that he is named the number two? Please?
August 25th, 2013 at 9:32 AM ^
Why? It happens. I don't remember who it was at the moment, but last year someone was able to redshirt their number two QB. The started played almost the whole season and when there was a play or two he had to come out, or mop up time, the number three QB went in.

Shane has seemed to improve his field vision since the Under Armor Game. In that game Shane only would look at the left side of the field.
August 25th, 2013 at 12:32 PM ^
Do you have a source for this or just because of the 10 throws he had in CTK this year? Not trying to make fun just curious
August 25th, 2013 at 9:19 AM ^
Schofield says the offensive line (whichever 5 that may be) will dominate. Thanks for clearing that up for me Sco, now I can sleep at night.
August 25th, 2013 at 11:31 AM ^
Bkfinest it!
August 25th, 2013 at 10:32 AM ^
Chesson looked really good in those highlights. Hopefully it translates to the big game stage
August 25th, 2013 at 10:59 AM ^
Channing was running with the first team D exclusively it seemed like or he could just be one of the outside guys in the nickel package. What has happened to Raymon ? All I keep hearing and seeing is him with the 2's. Can't wait for the season.
August 25th, 2013 at 11:27 AM ^
Raymon had a nice pick 6 in these highlights... he will likely be a starter in the regular defense package.
August 25th, 2013 at 11:37 AM ^
Dumb question, but why practice with no pads vs just telling everyone it's a non contact day? The clips of the receivers laying out and landing on their shoulders without pads made me cringe.
August 25th, 2013 at 12:03 PM ^
It looks like DG has brought his arm in tighter and higher on his release. It looks pretty good. It'll be hard to bat down those passes.
August 25th, 2013 at 1:44 PM ^
Six days? It's game week!! Anyone else this excited?!
August 25th, 2013 at 4:32 PM ^
That last catch looked a lot like Desmond vs ND sweet can't wait until Saturday
August 25th, 2013 at 7:00 PM ^
If you need help getting through the next few days, the 2012 Iowa vs Michigan State game is on BTN right now. Even though State lost, it was one of the worst games of the season and should make you want to avoid football for a while. Almost there guys.
August 26th, 2013 at 8:10 AM ^
last year was magical, so your strategy kinda sucks. MOAR football now!
