9/24/2022 – Michigan 34, Maryland 27 – 4-0, 1-0 Big Ten Blake Corum hopped outside because he had no choice. There he met a Maryland safety, who deposited his shoulder in Corum's midsection. A defensive end shed Luke Schoonmaker and jumped on Corum from the side. Corum was still a half-yard short of the first down. He wore one 260-pound Terrapin like a cape; the second was trying to break him in half. Corum took a step. He took another step. Tilted forward at a 45-degree angle, he looke...

The Michigan Wolverines faced their third completely overmatched opponent of the non-conference schedule and delivered their third swift beatdown. The defense suffocated UConn en route to a dominant shutout, allowing just over 100 yards total. The offense, led by JJ McCarthy and Blake Corum's 5 rushing TDs, hung 465 yards (6.7 YPP) and 59 points. Special teams blocked a punt and AJ Henning run back a punt back for a TD. The score was 38-0 at halftime and the game was never remotely competit...

PERSONAL NOTE: Sorry about the delay here. New computer meant there were a ton of technical issues to fix getting back up and running and there was a lot of time I had to spend on (non-emergency) family stuff this week. FORMATION NOTES: Michigan had two major departures from last year. One was a resurgence of TE snaps. Of 55 charted snaps there 22 with two TEs and five with three. The other was a smattering of under center stuff that was not short yardage.

9/3/2022 – Michigan 51, Colorado State 7 – 1-0 There's no real way around it, folks: the main talking point coming out a shellacking of a very bad team is who did what at quarterback. I extend a grumble towards the AP for framing a not quite generic enough press conference answer from Cade McNamara like so: McNamara unhappy after No. 8 Michigan beats Colorado St 51-7 One grumble, extended. But also I, like everyone else, was extending grumbles when Michigan's offense did not seem l...

Michigan Football's 2022 campaign began with a routine pummeling of a completely overmatched non-conference opponent, but one that did nothing to calm the fire of a fanbase already teeming with takes about the QB competition. Cade McNamara was often shaky; JJ McCarthy, when on the field, was crisp. It really didn't matter: Michigan annihilated Colorado State in the trenches and cruised to a 51-7 victory. Let the debate begin.  Michigan got the football to begin the game and much of wh...
