After a spectacular sophomore season how much better can JJ McCarthy be at quarterback for Michigan in his junior year? Should McCarthy run and pass more or is he doing just fine if he plays like he did last year. Also, there will be a new rule in college football this year where the clock stops after a 1st down. Is this a positive rule change for football? How will the change effect Michigan? Will records be harder to break?

After hearing Michigan co-defensive coordintor Jesse Minter on UM's pod this week I decided to take ask the question if the 2023 defense will be as good as last years defense? Now, just looking at the schedule you may think it will be more difficult considering UM's B1G crossover games last year were Iowa/Illinois and this years its Nebraska/Minnesota. You may also be wondering if Michigan can keep Penn State under 18 points for the third year in a row and how about holding Ohio State to under 24 points again? Also, I watched last Saturday's Michigan State spring scrimmage and give my thoughts on what stood out with the Spartans.

Michigan picks up a PWO at QB over the last 24 hours. UM basketball loses a recruit but opens up a scholarship for a player in the transfer portal. Is this a good or bad thing? Penn State held its Blue & White game over the weekend and I have some thoughts on what the Nittany Lions will bring to the table this upcoming season. ESPN released a presason football percentage index ranking (FPI) and it looks like the world wide leader hates Michigan while being smitten with Ohio State.

Today, I'll take my first crack at a prediction for the '23 Michigan football season record. Also, I present four scenarios that could play out for the Michigan season and I ask if you would take or leave (smash or pass) the suggestions. We watch video of basketball transfer Nimari Burnett and see what kind of game he brings to Ann Arbor for next season. Would Michigan fans welcome Hunter Dickinson back with open arms if the big man wanted to come back to play for the Wolverines in his senior season?
