Tons of talent and experience returning in 2018
Michigan will go from one of the youngest teams in the country to one of the most experienced teams in CF by next year. The returning contributors:
Offense Defense
D. Peoples-Jones T. Kinnel
J. Bushell-Beatty J. Metellus
C. Ruiz R. Gary
B. Peters A. Solomon
T. Black D. Bush
G. Perry K. Hudson
S. McKeon D. Long
Z. Gentry L. Hill
C. Evans N. Furbush
K. Higdon C. Winovich
M. Onwenu B. Mone
B. Bredeson B. Watson
K. Walker A. Thomas
I. Bunting
T. Wheatley
E. McDoom
K. Crawford
The experience and struggles these players endured this year will help them next year. Plus year three for this D. Brown defense that will have everyone back minus McCray and Hurst has a chance to be light years better than what we saw this year. I think Peters has a chance to be a great quarterback, and will get better with experience and timing with all the receivers coming back next year.

Was play calling an issue yesterday? I felt pretty good about the way we played most of the game yesterday we missed on some plays like the long pass to Crawford the DPJ 's TD the fumble and while yes Wisconson plays in the West they are still a good solid top 5 team and a tough place to play let's give some credit to them is Urban overrated because of the Clemson game or this years Iowa game is Saban because he failed bid time in the NFL ? Sometimes it isn't just that simple that its coaching players play and again theses are kids and blow coverage and leave their gap assignments. And Bartmen didn't cause the Cubs to lose the Cubs caused the Cubs to lose so let's pump the brakes M fans, We will be fine

My guess is not all names listed will be back next year, in fact I'm pretty sure. Coach is a loyal guy but at the end of the day he has proved to the fanbase and recruits the best players will play regardless of age or class.
I can tell you that DB is jacked up to have these 3 young linebackers next year, and although we will miss Hurst, A. Solomon showed us a little bit yesterday why he is going to be all Big Ten at a min. I think Chase comes back, and I do not think he waits long to tell us all. Defense will be special again next year, and I would expect the offense to be stronger as well. Looking back on the season, early on when the team was struggling with lesser opponets and to score points we all just brushed it off as they were figuring things out, and dumbing down the playbook based on opponents. I know we dealt with injuries, but the truth is our offense just is not very good, definately not fluid. I expect a few things to change in offseason on this front as well.
Also I still think we are going to sign a few GT's or 5 year guys this offseason unlike last year. OL, DB, S, and QB are all on the radar.
Go Blue beat OSU!

How about doing your own research to prove your whinniness is valid? Nothing but bitching from you... Just another flower that can find another team if this one isn't good enough for you.

And Jedd Fisch came from the Jacksonville Jaguars. So what's your point?
November 19th, 2017 at 9:28 AM ^
Right. The position coach is the only thing that changed. You know, aside from losing two senior WRs, the Mackey Award winning TE, 4 senior OL (and the 5th guy changing positions), and a 5th yr senior RB. But yeah, those guys didn't make any difference at all...
Fucking idiot.

And what did those OL do for the squad last year in the games M lost, oh yea M got outrushed and they couldn't be leaned on to put those games away. Same results this year. With o pro background OL coach, M cannot identify blitzers that have a free run at the QB? In week 11? Having your son coach RB's(1st year} and your old buddy coaching interior line along with play calling duties...dunno but there's not a good mesh there. At least last year the RB's picked up the blitz ALOT better.

This is the type of idiotic post that shows idiocy. If you're going to comment, at least follow the team and understand what the hell you're talking about.

Watson will be back if he wants to be. He's the 3rd corner and is hard to get off the field.

Except they had everyone back from a B1G championship team. How did that work out for them this year?
November 19th, 2017 at 9:31 AM ^
but both can be replaced and the returning three + Ruiz, etc will have another year of experience/size/weight to build on
...and solving the O-line will go a long way in solving the RB and QB dilemma ...exhibit 1 - Speight w/a seasoned/experience upper classman line vs Speight with this year's young inexperienced line ...just sayin
