I thought this was a pretty good thread, and worth digging up after the non-con.

If you were bearish on the offense and bullish on the D you predicted pretty well. It'll be interesting to see how things change as the season progresses. Offense might get better even against better competition.

  1. Michigan will have a 2,500 yard passer this season

On pace for 2400 yards.

  1. A Michigan RB will rush for more than 1,000 yards this season

De'veon on pace for 993 yards.

  1. A Michigan WR will catch for more than 1,000 yards this season

Darbaugh on pace for 730 yards.

  1. Jabrill Peppers will have at least 25 snaps on offense this season

None yet.

  1. Michigan will have a 1st Team All-B1G offensive lineman

No idea, but it seems possible (?)

  1. Michigan will finish in the top 2 in the B1G in Team Defense

Currently tied for #2

  1. Taco Charlton will have more sacks than Frank Clark had in 2014 (4.5)

ESPN says he has 2, pace for 6.

  1. Joe Bolden will lead the B1G in tackles

Sitting at 23rd.

  1. Jabrill Peppers will be named to the All-American Team (1st, 2nd or 3rd team)

Guessing he has a pretty ok chance.

  1. Michigan will play in a New Year's Day (or better) bowl game

 

We shall see.
