1 year 51 weeks ago	While his defense in the	While his defense in the latter half of the season was suboptimal, he did get 3 shutouts and produce a top tier defense for the season.  I'm not so down on the guy, though I am also very happy with who we have moving forwards.

2 years 15 weeks ago	Still leaves you with 1 game	Still leaves you with 1 game @ for every 8 years for each opponent in the non paired division.  This reminds me of the explanation of the NFL schedule I was looking at earlier.  Sounds good to me, I don't think there's a simple fix to the problem I noted earlier.

2 years 22 weeks ago	Alternatively, Lewis is good	Alternatively, Lewis is good enough for the NFL but he chooses to finish his degree first, in which case he is obviously the #1 CB.
2 years 22 weeks ago	I seem to recall he wanted to	I seem to recall he wanted to go to med school, does he go for the NFL if his chances are good?  Med school is a huge time commitment in your life.
2 years 24 weeks ago	I don't think it's possible	I don't think it's possible for 2 loss Michigan to overtake 1 loss OSU and 1 loss MSU in the CFP rankings barring some act of God.  The most likely chaos case is MSU drops 2 including 1 to OSU, Michigan beats OSU and then wins the head to head tiebreaker to get into the championship game to beat Iowa and create chaos
2 years 25 weeks ago	He received scholarships from	They updated the article.  He received scholarship offers from other programs but is a PWO.   The Lions’ pro-style quarterback came away from Ann Arbor with an invitation from head coach Jim Harbaugh and, according to Camp Hill head coach Frank Gay, Shuster notified Harbaugh on Thursday that he would join the Big Ten power next season as a preferred walk-on.   Shuster, Camp Hill’s four-year starter, had drawn interest from Duke, North Carolina, Pittsburgh and others. Several FCS programs were lining up with scholarship offers, as well.
2 years 26 weeks ago	There's some aspect of	There's some aspect of context here.  DL coach?  Very good.  Recruiter?  Very good.  I think Hoke's biggest weakness was not pulling in the assistant coaches that could properly develop the talent he was getting.  We saw flashes of it with Mattison, Montgomery, and maybe Nussmeier, but outside of those guys, the development of the team just seemed very lacking.
2 years 26 weeks ago	the last tiebreaker if all 3	the last tiebreaker if all 3 are tied is the playoff rankings.  Assuming 3 teams win out except for OSU>MSU and UM > OSU, michigan is a 2 loss team competing wiht 1 loss teams, we'd have to blow out OSU to be ranked above them. The easier pathway is MSU finally drops a game to a lower big ten team as they have been on the verge of multiple weeks in addition to losing to OSU, while michigan beats OSU for the tiebreaker over them.  Neither of which is easy, but it's possible. Now to forget about this until it actually matters before the OSU game, assuming we can win out until then.

2 years 26 weeks ago	I agree that we have some	I agree that we have some good QBs on roster, but Harbaugh has always been big on competition making you better and earning the position.  Hopefully if it does happen it will be just to bring out the best from everyone. I kind of doubt it though as Harbaugh seems to not like picking up guys who have had a lot of past injuries.
