Michigan "first" predictions for 2011
So seeing as we are close to the first game, I figure we may as well make some stupid predictions. So:
What do you think Michigan's first offensive play vs Western will be?
Who do you think will be the first Michigan player to score a TD?
Who will be the first (true or redshirt) freshman to score a TD?
Who do you think will be the first Michigan player to record a sack?
Who do you think will be the first Michigan player to intercept the opposing quarterback?

1. In a surprising move, Hoke/Borges bring out the Peace Corps package. Kennedy takes the direct snap, fakes a power dive to Mike Cox, then hits a wide open T Robinson streaking up a seam. The play goes for 25 yards. This makes Denard happy and he smiles.

so i will just go a little OT for anybody who is thinking the same thing, but I am a little surprised that this game is predicted to "test" Michigan. I just don't see it. Not attempting to jinx, but this is practically the same team (personnel) that destroyed Western 2 years ago only now they have facial hair and can at least realistically attempt to use a fake ID. Western could not even pretend to compete with Michigan that year. And Western was good that year and M was 5-7. I kind of expect this one to go the same way. Am I off base here?
September 1st, 2011 at 8:32 AM ^

Run up middle
Fitz
Rawls
RVB

Against ND, I expect the first play to be pass off of a play fake of whatever run they do on the first play this week. I hope we see a very boring playbook this week, and that it has no resemblance to the one we see against ND.
A boring 35-14 game would work out fine.
