Sponsor note. Are you thinking of starting a business? Maybe handing out water to FSU football players who are unprepared to play in the sweltering temperatures at [checks notes]… their home stadium? Or maybe you'd rather create an army of people to collect giant tips after dissuading Tennessee fans from going inside Neyland?

Well, those are fantastic ideas. You'll need some paperwork to get off the ground; you'll need someone to write up contracts for you. You'll need… a lawyer. Richard Hoeg is that lawyer. Call him. No ideas are bad ideas. Except going to Tennessee.

Well, then. My preseason projections that Tru Wilson would hold on to a plurality of Michigan snaps did not account for this possibility:

Harbaugh also said that Charbonnet had won the starting job with or without Wilson's injury. Also:

Zach Charbonnet had nine pickups in protection, which, I don’t think we’ve had a back get nine pickups in a protection since we’ve been here, one single back,” Harbaugh said. “And to be 100 percent, nine out of nine, that’s like, wow. That’s really good.”

If Charbonnet is instantly Also Tru Wilson as a pass protector nothing is keeping him from a monster freshman year. Here's rooting for a big fat zero on one of my stupid predictions.

A shift. Here's a bit from PFF's preseason top 25:

In 2018, Patterson flashed with almost 60% of his yards coming through the air. He co-led the Big 10 in adjusted completion percentage on second or third and long with Dwayne Haskins. The Wolverines ran on almost 60% of first- and second-down plays.

As Dave mention on the podcast, Michigan's first down run rate was 45% against MTSU. That may be even a bit more of a sea change since Michigan was very run heavy once McCaffrey came in.

The first staff announcement from Coach Howard has arrived, and it's as welcome as it was obvious. Well-regarded basketball trainer Jon Sanderson will remain at Michigan.

He's also got several minutes to enjoy having more followers than Juwan. Michigan can look forward to more baby stick figures who turn into Caris Leverts, not to mention the benefit that "remember what Tim Hardaway Jr. looked like before he got here?" etc. has done for Michigan recruiting.

Howard has three assistant positions yet to fill, with Michigan fans very much hoping to retain either or both of Luke Yaklich and Saddi Washington to maintain continuity and help Howard with the transition to college. There's nothing else new to add to the Assistant Coach Searchbits from yesterday except Jeff Goodman reported longtime NBA player/assistant Howard Eisley, once a high school teammate of Jalen Rose in Detroit, is rumored to be a candidate.
