Submitted by Steve Lorenz on

Hey guys, last week I did a Q&A with Alex Gleitman from Eleven Warriors that should give you a decent glimpse of the players we are going to hate for the next four years. Hope you enjoy: Breaking Down Ohio

I could care less how many times I gey negged, I get negged foryou any and everything. I don't understand why bunch of you would care/like to read about Urban Meyers recruiting class.

I read this one article yesterday at lunch about Brett Bielma called Urban and said "I dont like how your running things down there." and He basically admitted cheating and said "Okay Ill Stop." Like really?

That's not an excuse. Your ID is "MrMario86". Loeffler was there during Manningham's entire career at Michigan. Besides, if you don't know who somebody is,  it's not that hard to look up somebody's name with the internet these days.

If he's counting on Decker and Schutt to provide immediate presence on OSU's depleted lines, he's sadly mistaken. Washington and Dodson are great gets, both will be able to contribute early and often. How Urban Meyer convinced a back the style of Bri'onte Dunn to sign, absolutely blows me away. (See square peg round hole) Warren Ball has a lot of ability, I just don't even he fits that scat back mold that Urban thrives on.

You really don't understand the full concepts of an Urban Meyer offense. Which as an Alabama fan, I assumed you would, seeing as how you played him and that offense during its zenith a few times. The power-I, downhill running style of traditional "Ohio State" offenses is simply combined with jet motion from other offensive backs. Just because a WR/RB hybrid (Percy Harvin, in previous years, and Possibly Stefon Diggs/Verlon Reed/etc.) comes across the formation pre-snap doesn't change the fact that a 250 pound monster (Tim Tebow or Dunn) is slamming into the line off-guard/tackle in a traditional running style. Urban Meyer's big, power back was Tim Tebow (that worked out well, right?) now it will be Bri'onte Dunn. Meyer looks to create mis-matches in space, he likes to flood defenses with overwhelming offensive advantages in numbers (3 blockers and a back vs. 2 defenders). It's power football, just run from a non-traditional set. Read this before you make sweeping generalizations about things you don't know anything about.

I literally laughed out loud at this line "I am going to say this class wins two conference titles and one national championship." l think this class has only 2 years playing with braxton miller at qb then will have its final years with a newcommer so basically in those two years they have to accomplish that. Sure its possible but to have that as the expectation is borderline rediculous.

I call myself a very optimistic and huge Michigan fan. But after watching the NC this year I don't know how any Michigan fan could say this team, no matter how great our recruiting class was is in line to win a national championship without some additional MAJOR pieces.

 The same could be said about Ohio

 Nobody is saying we'll compete for a NC next year,  We're talking 2014 - 2015.

 lol but honestly last years NCG has absolutely nothing to do with next years NCG anyway. I hope Michigan plays nights out against alabama to get some of you guys believing we can win those games again.
