Michigan Football has a (largely) finalized coaching staff for the upcoming 2024 season and today marks the closing of the transfer portal window that began when Jim Harbaugh exited to the NFL. Changes may continue to rosters after spring ball, but today marks the point at which Michigan joins the rest of college football in terms of staff and roster stability, the dust settling on the changes of the winter period. That reality allows us to turn our attention to the rest of college football to see what's been going on elsewhere in the B1G, as we did last offseason. Just like last year's series, over the course of the next three pieces (we now have 17 teams to cover!) I will recap what transfer portal and NFL declarations have wrought upon Michigan's conference foes, in addition to any staff turnover. Today we are covering the six teams in what used to be the B1G East: Ohio State EXITS Ohio State lost a handful of impact players, but as a whole came out relatively unsca ....
Previously: Rutgers Offense We're back for the defense half of FFFF, focusing on the side of the ball that our opponents for this weekend specialize in. Rutgers has started the season 3-0 largely on the back of its offense so it's time to ask: how scared should we be of Sir Henry's finest defenders this weekend? The Film: We're going with Virginia Tech again for reasons previously stated in the offense piece, recency and the likelihood that the Hokies are indeed better than Northwestern and Temple (not assured, but likely).

Old Friend Aaron Lewis is still around, his chops against the run still up for debate (they seemed fine in the game I charted) but his overall importance to this Rutgers defense is not. The one ....
Essentials WHAT #2 Michigan (3-0) vs Rutgers (3-0) WHERE Michigan Stadium Ann Arbor, MI WHEN Noon Eastern THE LINE M –24 (Vegas) M -26 (Bill C) TELEVISION BTN PBP: Cory Provus Color: Jake Butt TICKETS From $94. WEATHER sunny minimal wind around 70 Overview Rutgers! We meet again. Hooray. The one unambiguously good thing about the Big Ten inflating to ludicrous proportions is that this annual "rivalry" is likely to get shelved for a while as the Big Ten ceases to schedule one of the least interesting games in college football. With the exception of a Brady Hoke pratfall, for years and years this game has been Rutgers trundling to 200 yards of offense one three-yard crossing route at a time as Michigan either blows the doors off (Ash era) or screws around with a Tecmo Bowl-level playbook waiting for Rutgers to self-immolate (Schiano era). This looks like more of the same. [AFTER THE JUMP: hope you like screens] ....
