With the National Championship Game taking place last night, the 2022 College Football Season has now come to an end. The offseason, which began as many as six or seven weeks ago for some teams, is now in full-swing for everyone. The transfer portal opened in December and many teams have seen significant losses and additions via the portal, while the NFL Draft decision date is coming up. Moreover, coaching staffs are being reshuffled across the country and so there is no shortage of news. If you've been struggling to keep track of the changes among Michigan's B1G rivals, you are probably not alone and it's why I put together this handy piece looking at the offseason developments around the B1G East. I'm planning to do a B1G West one soon, and since the offseason isn't yet over, I'm planning a second round of updates in a couple months once the portal has calmed down and the draft picture is crystallized.

Michigan did run a two-back formation out of the gun for the first time this year: This was the wheel to Corum with Bredeson staying in to protect. You better believe that's going to be the #1 thing opponents expect out of this formation after M put this on tape.

Almost just Corum at RB; Stokes fumbled his first carry and Isaiah Gash got a couple of runs. OL was Hayes/El-Hadi/Olu/Zinter/Jones the whole way. WRs were the ....
Previously: Quarterback, Running Backs, Receivers, Offensive Line Now we move to the defensive side of the football, where things will begin to change a bit. Maryland will see a mighty fall at many positional groups, while Iowa will likely rise and plenty more shakeups will occur. Much like the OL, I will be blending PFF grades with my own charting when we move into opponents on the schedule from last fall. One more note: for this piece, I'm considering defensive lines to be interior DL and EDGE players, so both traditional DEs and standup pass rushers who some teams call "OLBs". 12. Hawaii DE DT DT DE Andrew Faoliu Blessman Ta'ala John Tuitupou Mataio Soli Andrew Choi Jojo Falo The turnover from Todd Graham to Timmy Chang has been felt most severely on the defensive side of the ball for Hawaii, where they return just one starter on the defensive line and have a single player on this depth chart who played more than 100 snaps a year ago. yikes!
