Yes, but, keep in mind that you are trading the contributions of an experienced 22-year-old for an inexperienced 18-year-old -- and that's without even considering the cumulative effects of four years of strength and conditioning.
If you expect a player to leave early, or if you have a glaring need at a position, then burning the redshirt is fine. If you're just trying to clear out space so you can continue to have large recruiting classes, you're likely hurting yourself; it's better to be more selective and have older players than to cast a wider net but give up a ton of experience.

No obvious injuries, should be healthy for the Buffs next week,

than the way Georgia did or the way Clemson or Oklahoma State have to.

We've had wins like that in the last few years. I'm okay with putting that behind us. MOAR blowouts.
September 10th, 2016 at 4:11 PM ^
I don' think you . . . .

We should have tacked on another touchdown to honor Scott Frost's mom.

UCF wasn't as bad as advertised. They are going to win more than one game this year
September 10th, 2016 at 3:35 PM ^
Very unfulfilling blowout win.
Strange feeling.
September 10th, 2016 at 3:35 PM ^
It could be a lot worse... I mean we could be Clemsoning right now...
September 10th, 2016 at 3:35 PM ^
I would like to note that the entire team seemed a bit sluggish. Understandable, given the opponent on a second week, though still disappointing. A good sign of this, though--two dropped passes by Jake Butt. That's just not going to happen on a big Saturday. Yeah, there were schematic and personnel issues, but it didn't seem like this was the same intensity as last week.

running game better make you feel bad. Against a DL outweighed by 50lbs on average, Michigan could not run the ball.
Sadly, our defense didn't do much better against UCF's run game--particularly zone reads. I was hoping they would get some good practice and be the better for it; I don't want to see what some of those plays would look like when run with better athletes.
Plenty to work on in the run game, both sides of the ball.
On the upside, Michigan's passing game is looking solid, which is nice to see this early in the season. Pass defense was also good.

UCF was stacking the box for the run which allowed us to work on the passing game...not a bad thing...also, they had a decent strategy since they were so much smaller and quicker. By jumping around and not allowing our big guys to get a hold of them they were able to sneak in and around to get pressure. Most teams we play from now on will be similar sized and more traditional match up. Give them credit for doing what they planned and the only thing they really could potentially do...stop the run...but we said "ok...we'll just throw" and that's the chess game.
September 10th, 2016 at 3:53 PM ^
Pretty much this for me. Too many big plays given up via the run and offensively the run game wasn't inspiring much confidence. Glad to see Speight looking good though.

hands, you're simply mistaken.
September 10th, 2016 at 3:35 PM ^
From someone Ace retweeted near the end of the game: "Michigan fans being genuinely peeved about a 37 point lead may be the surest sign the team is actually good again."
September 10th, 2016 at 3:44 PM ^
not bad for a sloppier performance.
September 10th, 2016 at 3:46 PM ^
Yes. This.
In fact, I was talking to my wife during the fourth quarter that much of the bitching that was going on despite the score margin - about football things, and some were good criticisms - was a whiff of the past, when we were great, would have this very underwhelming yet decisive win, and people would still be pissed about it somehow.
We are indeed back. The first time someone grades a win like this as a "B-" or below, which might be today, I know we're back.

He's by far my least favorite poster on MGoBlog. His observations are so negative or critical. Simply put, he's a fucking bore.
September 10th, 2016 at 5:15 PM ^
I think he is a very valuable poster...but he sure does take the negative out of everything...I sure hope he didn't honestly called for Brown's job. That is asinine

Run blocking is the big takeaway. The run defense was mental mistakes adjusting to a new scheme and I think that stuff can be fixed.

ugh. First play by Tulsa, catchable pass missed and intercepted by the bucks.
September 10th, 2016 at 3:43 PM ^
Going to need Pep and J.D. in the big games on offense.
Edit, haha I meant Jourdn Lewis.

Speight is certainly farther along this year than Rudock was last year. Thank god we can actually hit 20+ yard throws now.
